Bill > SB1099

This bill modifies Pennsylvania's vehicle laws to establish specific rules for organized motorcycle processions, providing new guidelines for how such processions can operate on public roads. Under the new provisions, motorcycle processions of at least 10 vehicles (excluding lead and trailing vehicles) will be allowed certain traffic privileges, such as proceeding through red lights or stop signs if the lead vehicle originally entered the intersection on a green signal or after a complete stop. To qualify for these privileges, the procession must occur between 8 a.m. and sunset, be sponsored by a corporation or nonprofit organization, be conducted for memorial or charitable purposes, and have at least 10% of participants wearing high-visibility reflective vests. The procession organizers must also notify affected municipalities in advance (three days for funeral-related processions, 14 days for charitable processions). The bill also requires that vehicles in the procession display lighted headlamps and emergency flashers, and mandates that emergency vehicles still have right-of-way. Additionally, the bill updates existing traffic laws to explicitly recognize these motorcycle processions and ensure they can proceed without interruption by other vehicles, except for emergency vehicles.
