HB 348 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

MTR VEHICLE/MOTORCYCLES: Authorizes drivers of certain two-wheeled vehicles to proceed through a red light under certain circumstances

This bill allows drivers of specific two-wheeled vehicles to legally proceed through a red light when turning right on red, provided they yield to all other traffic and pedestrians. The amendment removes a restriction that previously prevented these vehicles from turning right on red under the same conditions allowed for cars. The change directly affects riders of motorcycles and other two-wheeled vehicles in situations where they wish to make a right turn at an intersection.
