Contact: Logan Bahr, Maggie Carol

A bill that clarifies the use of bicycle traffic control signals passed the House last week.

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 to bicyclists as traffic lights on main roads.

HB 2684 was passed by the House and now moves to the Senate for consideration.

AWC supports this bill.
