What’s in it

234).281). This bill requires a driver to yield the right-of-way to a bicyclist crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk, or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, in the same manner required when yielding to pedestrians where traffic-control signals are not in place or in operation. A violation of the bill is a simple misdemeanor punishable by a $135 scheduled fine. By operation of law, if the violation causes a serious injury, a court could impose an additional fine of $500 or suspend the person’s driver’s license for not more than days, or both.
