Bills authorize use of bicycle traffic control signals

Contact: Logan Bahr, Maggie Carol

Two companion bills have been introduced that clarify the use of traffic control signals specific to bicyclists.

SB 6466, sponsored by Sen. Emily Randall (D–Bremerton) and its companion bill, HB 2684, sponsored by Rep. Sharon Shewmake (D–Bellingham) clarifies that local governments may use traffic control signals that are specifically intended for bicyclists. The signals will have the same meaning as traffic lights on main roads.

AWC supports this bill.
