House votes 'yes' on bill that would let drivers run red lights Video

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4 News) - The Utah House of Representatives has approved a bill that would allow drivers to run red lights under certain circumstances.

House Bill 151 was approved by the House Monday with a 39-34 vote. If approved by the Senate, the bill will allow drivers to run a red light on roads with a speed limit of 55 miles per hour or lower, after three criteria are met.

First, the driver must stop for 90 seconds, then determine if the light is not cycling properly. If both of those conditions are met, drivers can proceed if the coast is clear.

The bill now moves to the Senate where it will be consider by the Senate Rules Committee before a full vote.
