Introduced by: Betsy B. Carr | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Exception to stopping requirement; bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, or motorized skateboard or scooter. Authorizes the operator of a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, or motorized skateboard or scooter to yield instead of stop at an intersection of two highways controlled by a stop sign if (i) each intersecting highway has no more than three motor vehicle travel lanes; (ii) the operator is at least 15 years old or accompanied by an adult; (iii) the operator slows to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions; (iv) before proceeding into the intersection, the person yields the right-of-way to any pedestrian lawfully within the crosswalk and to the driver of another vehicle approaching or entering such intersection from another direction; and (v) the stop sign is not marked as a full-stop stop sign. The bill authorizes the Department of Transportation to designate any stop sign as a full-stop stop sign if site-specific conditions, including limited sight distances and hidden entrances, make it unsafe for a person to yield instead of stop at such stop sign and requires a clearly marked sign at such stop signs.
