S.F. _____ H.F. _____ Section 1. Section 321.257, subsection 2, paragraph a, Code 1 2017, is amended to read as follows: 2 a. A “steady circular red” light means vehicular traffic 3 shall stop. Vehicular traffic shall remain standing until 4 a signal to proceed is shown or vehicular traffic, unless 5 prohibited by a sign, may cautiously enter the intersection to 6 make a right turn from the right lane of traffic or another 7 lane designated for right turns, or a left turn from a one-way 8 street to a one-way street from the left lane of traffic on a 9 one-way street onto the leftmost lane of traffic on a one-way 10 street or another lane designated for left turns . Turns made 11 under this paragraph shall be made in a manner that does not 12 interfere with other vehicular or pedestrian traffic lawfully 13 using the intersection. Pedestrian traffic facing a steady 14 circular red light shall not enter the roadway unless the 15 pedestrian can safely cross the roadway without interfering 16 with any vehicular traffic. 17 EXPLANATION 18 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 19 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 20 Vehicular traffic is currently allowed to make a right turn 21 from the right lane of traffic against a red light, or a left 22 turn from the left lane of traffic on a one-way street to the 23 leftmost lane of traffic on another one-way street against a 24 red light. This bill alters that provision to allow a right 25 turn from another lane designated for right turns, or a left 26 turn from another lane designated for left turns on a one-way 27 street. The bill also strikes the requirement that vehicular 28 traffic turning left against a red light on a one-way street 29 must turn into the leftmost lane of the other one-way street. 30 -1- LSB 1379XD (3) 87 ns/nh/rh 1/ 1
