Do You Know About Ride To Red ?

There will be a  new law in Pennsylvania  allowing drivers to go through some red lights.

The bill, called "Ride on Red," has been signed into law by Gov. Tom Wolf. It allows drivers to exercise "due care" and make a decision to legally go through a red light.

The bill was proposed because motorcycles typically do not trigger traffic light sensors that make lights turn from red to green.

Now, when a traffic signal is unresponsive to a driver, the driver can legally drive through the red light, rather than waiting at the intersection.

The bill was initially only for motorcycle riders, but was expanded to include other vehicles.

It was signed into law on July 20th and takes effect in September.
