The <br />Oregon Traffic Control Devices Committee will soon recommend to the Oregon <br />Transportation Commission that amendments to the national Manual on Uniform Traffic <br />Control Devices including bicycle signal heads be included in the Oregon Supplement to <br />the national manual. Three installations of bicycle signal heads currently exist in <br />Portland. Bicycle specific signal indications would only be allowed or used in specific <br />and limited applications. This bill provides the legal back up to the technical changes <br />being proposed by the traffic engineering community, by specifying the duties of a cyclist <br />when facing bicycle signal heads. At the present time, only one City of Eugene location <br />would be appropriate for a bike signal head. If this law were to pass the standard red, <br />yellow and green balls that face only a bike lane could be changed to balls with a bike <br />stencil overlay. Automobile movements would not be affected. <br /> <br /> <br />SB 0131 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to U-turns; creating new provisions; and amending ORS 811.365. <br /> <br />Title: Modifies offense of making illegal U-turn. <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
