SB 864 proposes amendments to the Transportation Code that would allow bicyclists to treat certain traffic-control devices as yield signs instead of stopping fully. The bill permits cyclists approaching a stop sign, a steady red signal, or a flashing red signal to slow down and proceed through the intersection if it is safe to do so, rather than coming to a complete stop. The bill aims to improve traffic flow and enhance cyclist safety by aligning Texas law with similar measures adopted in other states. The bill applies only to offenses committed on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025​.
