SB94 updates Alabama bicycle laws to allow right-turn hand signals by extending the right arm horizontally, with an exemption for riders under 16.
It authorizes a bicyclist to signal a right turn by extending the right arm horizontally to the right side of the bicycle. Riders under age sixteen are not required to use this right-side signal. The bill also preserves existing rules about riding near the right side, not riding more than two abreast, and using a bicycle path when available. It becomes law on the first day of the third month after it is passed and approved by the Governor.
