Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2015

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 415 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO BICYCLE SIGNALS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to help make bicycling safer by allowing bicyclists to signal a right-turn by extending their right hand and arm horizontally from the right side of the bicycle, as if pointing in the direction they are turning.

 

     The Department of Transportation Services and Hawaii Bicycling League supported this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 415 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
