Bill > HB2953

This bill amends Missouri law regarding traffic control signals to increase penalties for running a red light. Specifically, it changes the offense from a Class C misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor, meaning a more serious penalty. Furthermore, if a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle while the driver is violating this red light law, the offense escalates to a Class A misdemeanor, the most severe category of misdemeanor, indicating a significant increase in the potential consequences for drivers who cause harm to pedestrians due to red light violations.
