Missouri will soon be the eighth state to allow the red light runners. According to the Kansas City Star, riders can run the light if they completely stop first, the signal stays red for an "unreasonable time," the light is malfunctioning or traffic at the cross street does not pose a hazard.
The reason for the law is because a lot of times bicycle riders and motorcycle riders are left in the red for a longer period of time because the weight of their vehicles don't notify sensors to change the light.
The law goes into effect on August 28.
