HB 1533 -- Traffic Control Signals

Sponsor:  Davis

This bill creates an affirmative defense for a person operating a
motorcycle who enters or crosses an intersection controlled by a
traffic signal against a red light if the motorcycle has been
brought to a complete stop, the traffic signal shows a red light
for an unreasonable time, the traffic signal is apparently
malfunctioning, and no motor vehicle or person is approaching or
is so far away that it does not constitute an immediate hazard.
