A person riding a listed device may yield instead of stopping at some stop signs. This applies to people riding bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, electric power-assisted bicycles, and motorized skateboards or scooters. Each road meeting at the intersection may have no more than two motor vehicle travel lanes. The rider must be at least 15 or accompanied by an adult, slow to a reasonable speed, stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, and yield to vehicles approaching or entering from another direction.
A person riding a listed device may proceed through a steady red light under either of the stated conditions. This applies to people riding bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, electric power-assisted bicycles, and motorized skateboards or scooters at traffic-light intersections. Under one condition, the rider must stop for two light cycles or two minutes, whichever is shorter, use due care, treat the light like a stop sign, decide it is safe, and yield to vehicles approaching from either direction. Under the other condition, the pedestrian signal for the rider's direction and the parallel crosswalk to the rider's right must show “Walk.” The rider must stop for pedestrians, yield to traffic in the intersection and vehicles approaching from the right, and go straight or turn right.
The Department of Conservation and Recreation must allow certain electric mobility devices on paths or trails it designates for their use.
