And to clarify existing laws mandating that bicyclists abide by all traffic laws, the bill would permit bicyclists to cross through intersections “while following the pedestrian traffic control signal” unless otherwise directed.
looks like a baby-step towards an Idaho Stop law.

does the bill specify explicitly that pedestrians have the right of way, when a bicyclist is going through a controlled intersection with pedestrian signals? while i'm in favour of Idaho Stop laws, and baby steps in that direction, i'm also in favour of ticketing dicks on bikes who treat pedestrians as an obstacle course.
