Bicycles required to stop for yellow lights.

HF 3774 (Minnesota Statutes §169.222, new Subd. 4b) would require bicycle operators to stop before entering an intersection or crosswalk when approaching a steady yellow traffic light at a signal-controlled intersection. This bill directly affects cyclists in Minnesota who ride through intersections with traffic signals. The key provision mandates stopping for yellow lights, while clarifying that it does not change existing right-of-way rules (§169.20) and excludes situations where traffic is controlled by police or authorized personnel. The bill is currently in committee referral after its February 2026 introduction.
