Bill > AB168

This bill revises Nevada's bicycle traffic laws to provide more flexibility for cyclists at intersections while maintaining safety standards. Specifically, the bill allows cyclists to proceed through stop signs without fully stopping if they can do so safely, which means decreasing speed, confirming the intersection is clear, and yielding right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles that pose an immediate hazard. Similarly, at intersections with red traffic signals, cyclists may cautiously proceed or make turns after coming to a complete stop, assessing safety, and yielding right-of-way, with one exception that left turns through red signals are only permitted when turning onto a one-way roadway. The bill establishes these new movement rules as a civil infraction, meaning violations can result in a civil penalty, and it updates existing statutes to incorporate these new provisions. The underlying intent appears to be balancing cyclist mobility with public safety by allowing more nuanced navigation of intersections while still requiring cyclists to exercise caution and prioritize the safety of pedestrians and other vehicles.
