Revises provisions relating to bicycles. (BDR 43-598)
AB 168 updates Nevada's bicycle traffic laws by requiring cyclists to stop at stop signs and steady red traffic signals, with specific safety exceptions. It allows cyclists to proceed cautiously through intersections without stopping if they confirm safety, yield to pedestrians and vehicles, and check the intersection is clear. The bill also permits cyclists to turn right through red lights (with a one-way street exception for left turns) after stopping first and ensuring safety. Violations are classified as minor civil infractions, not criminal offenses, and apply directly to all bicycle riders operating on Nevada roadways.
