Pennsylvania HB971 prohibits vehicles from stopping, standing, or parking on pedalcycle lanes.

Pennsylvania HB971 amends the state's vehicle code to prohibit vehicles from stopping, standing, or parking on lanes specifically designed for pedalcycles. Exceptions are made for avoiding conflict with other traffic, protecting safety, complying with law, or following directions from a police officer or traffic-control device. Vehicles may temporarily stop on a pedalcycle lane to avoid an emergency vehicle. This change aims to enhance safety and clarity for pedalcycle users.
