                             AN ACT
 RELATING TO TURNS AGAINST RED LIGHTS MADE BY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.

 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
    Section 1.  Section 321.257, subsection 2, paragraph a, Code
 2017, is amended to read as follows:
    a.  A "steady circular red" light means vehicular traffic
 shall stop. Vehicular traffic shall remain standing until
 a signal to proceed is shown or vehicular traffic, unless
 prohibited by a sign, may cautiously enter the intersection to
 make a right turn from the right lane of traffic or another lane
 designated for right turns, or a left turn from a one=way street
 to a one=way street from the left lane of traffic on a one=way
 street onto the leftmost lane of traffic on a one=way street or
 another lane designated for left turns. Turns made under this
 paragraph shall be made in a manner that does not interfere
 with other vehicular or pedestrian traffic lawfully using the
 intersection. Pedestrian traffic facing a steady circular red
 light shall not enter the roadway unless the
  pedestrian can safely cross the roadway without interfering
 with any vehicular traffic.
