A new Illinois law taking effect Sunday will allow motorcyclists to run red lights.
The law is an attempt to problems motorcyclists have encountered with road censors. Many censors do not detect the weight of motorcycles because they do not weigh as much as cars or other motor vehicles.
The law states if the light has not changed after a “reasonable amount of time” the motorcyclist can run the light. However, not everyone is in support of the new law. Some have expressed concern that it will increase accidents.
Both Wisconsin and Indiana have similar laws in effect already.
