HF 4955 Minnesota House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Use of ground lights on motorcycles authorized to increase visibility at night.

This bill allows motorcycle riders in Minnesota to install white ground lights underneath their bikes to improve visibility at night. The law permits these lights only if they are hidden from other drivers and project a steady beam no wider than six feet directly onto the road surface. By adding this new provision to existing traffic statutes, the legislation creates a specific exception to rules that typically restrict motorcycle lighting equipment.
