HD 2737 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to promote safe bicycle yielding

This bill amends traffic laws to clarify bicycle operators' right-of-way obligations at intersections. It requires bicycle operators to stop completely at stop signs in intersections with 3+ lanes (Section 1(12)), stop when motor vehicles are stopped at the same stop sign (Section 1(13)), and reduce speed while yielding to motor vehicles in 2-lane intersections (Section 1(14)). The bill also mandates cyclists always yield to motor vehicles already in the intersection (Section 1(15)) and establishes that when bicycles and motor vehicles enter intersections simultaneously from different roads, the left-side vehicle must yield to the right-side vehicle (Sections 1(16) and 2). These changes directly affect bicycle operators and motor vehicle drivers navigating intersections.
