Bicyclists may proceed on pedestrian WALK signals - 1/1/24 (please read details)

[Smstewart]

Effective 1/1/24, cyclists may proceed into intersection on WALK signal with pedestrians (of course pedestrians must be given right of way).  Please read below.  This would also apply to the 'scramble' intersections in Carlsbad Village and other locations.  Cyclists may proceed with caution.  Please note wording below and link to bill:  https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1909

"(2) Existing law requires a vehicle at an intersection controlled by a traffic control signal, or traffic light, to stop or proceed as directed by the signal. Existing law makes these provisions applicable to pedestrians and bicycles, as specified. Under existing law, a pedestrian facing a solid red traffic control signal may enter the intersection if directed to do so by a pedestrian control signal displaying "WALK" or an approved "walking person" symbol.
This bill would, commencing January 1, 2024, extend this authorization to cross the intersection to a bicycle, unless otherwise directed by a bicycle control signal."
