(SALT LAKE CITY)—Utah lawmakers put the brakes on a bill that would have let bicyclists run red lights and stop signs in certain cases. The Senate came up one vote short of sending House Bill 91 to Governor Gary Herbert. The measure, sponsored by Representative Carol Spackman Moss, would have enable bicyclists to roll through stop signs after yielding to traffic. This would also have enabled bicyclists to glide through certain red lights after coming to a complete stop to ascertain no cars are coming. Those who voted against the bill said it created unnecessary and complicated rules that would lead to accidents.
