SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Pedestrian control signals; applicability to persons riding bicycles and other devices. Allows persons riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, moped, or motorized skateboard or scooter to follow the pedestrian control signal at an intersection when traveling in the direction of the signal, provided that they yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk traveling in the same direction. The bill specifies that such persons shall not start to cross the highway in the direction of such signal while the signal is solid, that pedestrians shall not start to cross the highway when such signal is solid or flashing, and that any person who has partially crossed the highway shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety island when the solid Don't Walk signal begins.
