Kansas Motorcyclists Can Legally Run Red Lights

The Kansas House
recently passed a bill called "Dead Red" that would allow
motorcyclists to drive through red lights. However, riders have
will have to wait a reasonable amount of time before running the
light, according to Fox News.
Several bikers, who are members of "A Brotherhood Against
Totalitarian Enactments", testified that their motorcycles were too
light and small for traffic light sensors to recognize their
presence, which causes the light to switch from red to green. They
also told officials that motorcyclists would be forced to debate
whether or not they should wait out the long light or take a chance
of receiving a ticket, the news source reported.
"Cars and trucks have no problem with it, but motorcycles have
always been an issue," Crawford County Sheriff's Deputy Bob Peters,
told Fox 14. "You may be on a section or roadway where you may wait
for five minutes and there may not be other traffic along to
trigger the sensor."
The House passed the bill as part of a broader road safety package.
The bill will also impact bicycle riders who have claimed they
suffer from the same problem.
