Summary
South Carolina just rolled out the “Palmetto Stop” law — a bold move that lets cyclists treat stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs, as long as it’s safe. No more forced stops at every sign if the way is clear — just slow down, check for right-of-way, and roll through when safe. It’s designed to cut commute time, boost urban cycling, and tackle the summer spike in bike fatalities — making South Carolina the first East Coast state and 14th nationwide to adopt this smart, safety-first approach.
