Allows drivers of motorcycles, mopeds, trimobiles, bicycles, and electric bicycles to proceed through a red light under specific conditions.
Louisiana HB723 amends traffic laws to allow drivers of motorcycles, mopeds, trimobiles, bicycles, and electric bicycles to proceed through a red light at intersections controlled by vehicle-actuated traffic-control signals. This applies if the driver stops for two complete cycles of the signal or two minutes, treats the red light as a stop sign, and determines it is safe to proceed. The driver must also yield to pedestrians and other vehicles. The bill defines "vehicle-actuated control" as a system that manages traffic signals based on traffic demand detected by sensors.
