House Bill 22-1028 would implement the so-called Idaho Stop in Colorado, otherwise known as a safety stop.
DENVER — Colorado lawmakers are once again considering a bill that would allow bicyclists to roll through stop signs.The bill would call on cyclists approaching intersections to slow down to 10 miles an hour and check for cars, pedestrians, and other road users before proceeding through the intersection. They would not be required to come to a complete stop.
For stoplights, the cyclist would be required to come to a complete stop, check the intersection for cars and other road users and then proceed through the intersection without waiting for the light to turn green. Several states have already enacted similar legislation, including the stop's namesake, Idaho, as well as Arkansas, Delaware, Oregon and Washington.
"We have inconsistent laws, from county to county, on how to treat intersections," said Rep. Edie Hooton, D-Boulder."What this bill does is it creates uniformity around the state on how a cyclist may proceed through an intersection."
