We are extremely pleased to report that yesterday the Michigan House Transportation Committee voted out HB 4728 with LMB's recommended Substitute language.  LMB testified before the Committee last week encouraging a simple amendment to the bill which would allow cyclists to signal right turns with an upturned left arm OR by pointing to the right.  The original language of the bill would have mandated that Michigan bicyclists could only point to the right, outlawing the current upturned left arm method. Of the 32 states who have made this simple update to their vehicle codes, no state has outlawed the universally recognized upturned left arm signal.

We would like to thank Representative Geiss for offering the Substitute, as well as the entire Transportation Committee who unanimously voted to move this common sense bill to the House floor.

We will keep our members posted of additional movement of HB 4728.
