New law takes effect 1 Oct 2013

[R3K]

Just found out about this as it circulates the base today. In a nutshell, the new law will allow cyclists of all types to proceed through a red light if their "bike" doesn't trigger the light to change from red to green, provided they wait for 2 full cycles of the light. I've pasted the important part below, but also provided the link so you guys/gals can read it for yourself. Just open the PDF to get the full skinny.

After complying with the requirement to stop, a person

driving a motorcycle, moped or trimobile or riding a bicycle or an

electric bicycle may proceed straight through or turn right or left

if:

(1) The person waits for two complete cycles of the lights or

lighted arrows of the applicable official traffic-control device and

the signal does not change because of a malfunction or because

the signal failed to detect the presence of the motorcycle, moped,

trimobile, bicycle or electric bicycle;

(2) No other device at the place prohibits either or both

such turns, if applicable; and

(3) The person yields the right-of-way to pedestrians and

other traffic proceeding as directed by the signal at the

intersection.

Yeah right wait for 2 cycles by that time someone will be behind you to set the light off
