Vehicle Laws - Bicycles - Operation at Intersections

HB 7 modifies Maryland's vehicle laws to allow bicyclists to proceed through certain stop-sign intersections without stopping under specific conditions. It applies only to intersections on highways with two or fewer lanes for moving traffic, requiring bicyclists to reduce speed to a reasonable rate and yield to vehicles already in the intersection or approaching vehicles posing immediate danger. The bill directly affects bicyclists operating on these low-traffic highways, changing the standard stop requirement to a conditional "yield and proceed" rule. This amendment updates Sections 21-707 and 21-1202 of the Maryland Annotated Code, effective October 1, 2025.
