Difficulty: EasyPedestrian and Bicycle Signals and Markings

Bicyclists facing a dedicated bicycle signal head displaying a solid red bicycle indication must come to a complete stop and wait until a green signal is displayed before proceeding into the intersection.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is True. Bicyclists are subject to dedicated bicycle traffic signals and must remain stopped at a solid red bicycle signal light.
Dedicated bicycle signals have the legal force of standard traffic control signals. A solid red bicycle indication mandates a complete stop behind the stop line or crosswalk, and riders must wait until the signal turns green before proceeding.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal type and state.
The signal is a dedicated bicycle signal head displaying a solid red bicycle light.
Traffic control devices designed specifically for bicycles control bicycle traffic movement at intersections.
2
Apply standard rules of the road for traffic signals.
A solid red light requires a complete stop and prohibits entering the intersection until given a green indication.
Bicyclists on public roadways are required to obey traffic control signals just as motor vehicles do.
