Nebraska LB977 amends road rules for motorists and electric personal assistive mobility device operators when encountering animals on highways.

Nebraska LB977 modifies the Nebraska Rules of the Road to address interactions between motorists, electric personal assistive mobility device operators, and animals on highways. It redefines "vulnerable road user" to include pedestrians, cyclists, and operators of various vehicles. The bill mandates that drivers yield to animal-drawn vehicles, farm tractors, and livestock being led or herded on highways. It also requires operators of electric personal assistive mobility devices to yield to vulnerable road users and gives them the right of way when passing animal-powered vehicles.
