Bill > S0812

This bill, titled the "Stop-as-Yield Law," amends South Carolina's traffic laws to create new rules for bicycle riders at traffic signals and stop signs. Specifically, it requires bicycle riders to come to a complete stop at a red light, but then allows them to proceed when it is safe to do so, similar to how they might treat a stop sign. Additionally, the bill allows bicycle riders to "yield" at stop signs, meaning they can slow down and proceed cautiously into the intersection if it is safe and they yield to other traffic and pedestrians, rather than being strictly required to stop completely before entering the intersection. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for cyclists at common traffic control devices.
