| AN ACT |
| |
1 | Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated |
2 | Statutes, further providing for traffic-control signals. |
3 | The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania |
4 | hereby enacts as follows: |
5 | Section 1. Section 3112 of Title 75 of the Pennsylvania |
6 | Consolidated Statutes is amended by adding a subsection to read: |
7 | § 3112. Traffic-control signals. |
8 | * * * |
9 | (b.1) Pedalcycle or motorcycle.--Notwithstanding any |
10 | provision of law to the contrary, the driver of a pedalcycle or |
11 | motorcycle approaching an intersection that is controlled by a |
12 | traffic-control signal utilizing a vehicle detection device that |
13 | is inoperative due to the size of the pedalcycle or motorcycle |
14 | shall come to a full and complete stop at the intersection and, |
15 | after exercising due care as provided by law, may proceed with |
16 | due caution when it is safe to do so. It is not a defense to a |
17 | violation of subsection (a)(3) that the driver of a pedalcycle |
|
1 | or motorcycle proceeded under the belief that a traffic-control |
2 | signal utilized a vehicle detection device or was inoperative |
3 | due to the size of the pedalcycle or motorcycle when the signal |
4 | did not utilize a vehicle detection device or that any device |
5 | was not in fact inoperative due to the size of the pedalcycle or |
6 | motorcycle. |
7 | * * * |
8 | Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days. |
