What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, vehicles facing a red signal at an intersection may make a

right turn into the nearest lane for traffic moving to the right. No turn, however, may

be made on a red signal if lanes of moving traffic must be crossed or if a sign at the

intersection prohibits a turn.

Under this bill, vehicles in the leftmost right-turn lane of a roadway that

provides two right-turn lanes may make a right turn on a red signal into a lane that

is second to the rightmost lane for traffic moving to the right. A turn of this sort may

be made regardless of whether lanes of moving traffic must be crossed.
