Establishes special rules for cyclists approaching stop signs and traffic signals.

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to include special provisions for cyclists approaching stop signs and traffic-control signals. Cyclists must stop at a clearly marked stop line or before entering the crosswalk, yielding to pedestrians and vehicles. Failure to stop and subsequent collision with a pedestrian or vehicle is considered prima facie evidence of failure to yield the right of way.
