(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 1/25/2008)

Establishes provisions regulating motorcycles at traffic control signals.

Provides that, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the operator of a street legal motorcycle approaching a left turn intersection that is controlled by a triggered traffic control signal using a vehicle detection device that is inoperative due to the size of the street legal motorcycle shall come to a full and complete stop at the intersection. If the left turn signal fails to operate after one cycle of the traffic signal, the operator may, after exercising due care, proceed to turn left, if the operator is insured under a motor vehicle liability policy with liability limits of at least the amounts provided in RCW 46.29.090, is self-insured as provided in RCW 46.29.630, is covered by a certificate of deposit in conformance with RCW 46.29.550, or is covered by a liability bond of at least the amounts provided in RCW 46.29.090.
