A 5768 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requiring that vehicles yield the right of way to multi-use trails that cross roadways

This bill requires drivers to yield the right of way to pedestrians and cyclists using multi-use trails when those trails cross roadways within a crosswalk. It directly affects drivers at trail-roadway intersections and trail users (including bicyclists) who cross roadways. The key provision mandates that vehicles stop for trail users in contiguous crosswalks, treating them like pedestrians under traffic law. The bill defines "multi-use trail" broadly to include state, local, or private recreational paths maintained for non-motorized transport. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
