Allows bicyclists to treat stop signs and certain traffic signals as yield signs.
Texas HB4868 amends the Transportation Code to allow bicyclists to treat stop signs and certain traffic-control signals as yield signs. Specifically, bicyclists are no longer required to stop at stop signs or when facing a steady or flashing red signal. Instead, they must yield as if encountering a yield sign. This change applies to offenses committed after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025. Prior offenses remain governed by existing laws.
