The bill amends Arkansas Code 27-52-107(a)(3)(A) to introduce new provisions regarding the behavior of vehicular traffic at intersections when a steady red traffic control light is displayed. Specifically, it allows drivers to cautiously enter an intersection while the light is red under certain conditions. These conditions include the requirement that there is no other vehicular traffic approaching or already in the intersection, and that the driver must come to a complete stop at the near side of the intersection before proceeding.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if any other vehicular traffic is present or approaching the intersection, the driver must not enter. Furthermore, it establishes that if a driver does enter the intersection under the new provisions, all other traffic approaching or entering the intersection must yield to that driver. This amendment aims to clarify and enhance traffic flow at intersections while maintaining safety protocols.
