SB 155 Maryland Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Vehicle Laws - Bicycles, Play Vehicles, and Unicycles - Crosswalks

SB 155 would allow bicyclists, play vehicle operators, and unicyclists to enter an intersection on a red traffic signal to cross the road when a pedestrian "walk" signal is active for their direction. This applies only after yielding to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection. The bill also clarifies that these operators have pedestrian-like rights while in crosswalks or on sidewalks, requiring them to yield to pedestrians and mobility device users. The law would take effect October 1, 2026, if passed. Currently, the bill is pre-filed and awaiting legislative review.
