The bill amends Arkansas Code 27-52-107(a)(3)(A) to introduce new provisions regarding the behavior of vehicular traffic at intersections when facing a steady red traffic control light. Specifically, it allows drivers to cautiously enter an intersection under certain conditions: they must come to a complete stop at the near side of the intersection, ensuring there is no other vehicular traffic approaching or already in the intersection. The bill outlines that if other traffic is present, the driver must not enter the intersection.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a driver does enter the intersection under these new rules, all other vehicles approaching or entering the intersection after them must yield to the vehicle that has already entered. This change aims to provide clearer guidelines for drivers and enhance traffic flow at intersections while maintaining safety.
