Bill > HB511

This bill authorizes a person operating a bicycle approaching a stop sign at an intersection with two or fewer lanes for moving traffic to cautiously make a turn or proceed through the intersection without stopping, as long as the person reduces the speed of the bicycle to a reasonable rate and yields the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection and any approaching vehicle that poses an immediate danger. This provision is an exception to the general requirement for drivers of vehicles to stop at stop signs. The bill also clarifies that when approaching a stop sign at an intersection with a highway with two or fewer lanes for moving traffic, a person operating a bicycle may cautiously make a turn or proceed through the intersection without stopping, as long as they meet the specified conditions.
