South Carolina May Let Motorcycles Run Red Lights

»  Comments | Post a Comment

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina motorcyclists would be able to run some red lights under a measure heading to the governor's desk.

The Senate and House agreed Thursday on a bill allowing motorcyclists, mo-ped drivers and bicyclists to go through a stop light after waiting for two minutes if the light doesn't change and the intersection is clear.

The bill is being ratified and will be sent to Governor Mark Sanford. Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said the governor hasn't reviewed the legislation. He says it would be a challenge to enforce.
