Amends existing law to provide for human-powered vehicles, bicycles, and electric-assisted bicycles.

This proposed legislation is designed to promote safety on our roads. Idaho Code § 49-615 requires motor vehicle drivers to exercise due care to avoid colliding with bicyclists. A recent court ruling found that drivers do not have a duty to avoid colliding with operators of electric assisted bicycles; this legislation would clarify that they do. Additionally, proposed changes to Idaho Code § 49-714 would make clear that operators of electric assisted bicycles must also follow traffic laws and that they have the same duties that motor vehicle operators have.
