Bill > H3081

This bill amends existing law regarding traffic signals to address situations where motorcycles or bicycles are not detected by vehicle detection devices, which are mechanisms designed to sense the presence of vehicles. Specifically, it states that if a motorcycle or bicycle approaches an intersection with a traffic-control signal (a device that controls traffic flow with lights like red, yellow, and green) that uses a vehicle detection device which is not working because the motorcycle or bicycle is too small to be detected, the driver of that motorcycle or bicycle must come to a complete stop. After stopping and exercising due care, they may proceed cautiously when it is safe to do so. The bill also clarifies that a traffic signal is not considered inoperative if it is flashing, and in such cases, drivers must obey it as usual.
