Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the operation of bicycles at stop signs and traffic-control signals
AI Summary
This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to establish special provisions for the operation of bicycles at stop signs and traffic-control signals. The key provisions are: (1) Bicyclists approaching a stop sign must slow down or stop, yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles, and if they proceed without stopping, any subsequent collision will be prima facie evidence of failure to yield; and (2) Bicyclists approaching a steady red signal must stop, and may then proceed cautiously, yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles. These provisions are intended to provide specific guidance for bicyclists at intersections to enhance safety.
