2013 House Bill 4265

Allow two-wheeler to disregard malfunctioning automated traffic signal

Introduced in the House

Feb. 14, 2013

Introduced by Rep. Mike Shirkey (R-65)

To allow motorcycle, bicycle, moped or three-wheeler vehicle operators to proceed through a red light at an automated traffic signal if the device does not detect them within one full cycle, or 60 seconds if it is not working at all. If the person gets a ticket anyway there would be a legal presumption that the automated signal was not working, rebuttable only by testimony that a law enforcement official witnessed the person proceeding before the specified time limits.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
