Bill Summary

For legislation relative to bicycle visibility on the road. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law to require bicyclists to have a lamp emitting a red light on the rear of their bicycle, rather than either a red light or a reflector. It also increases the fine for failing to have the required rear light from $20 to $50. The purpose of these changes is to improve bicycle safety by ensuring that bicyclists are more visible to drivers on the road.
