Increases the penalty for red light offenses

Summary

The bill repeals and rewrites Missouri’s traffic‑signal statute, keeping the existing rules for green, yellow and red lights. It adds a new penalty that makes any red‑light violation a Class B misdemeanor, and if a pedestrian is struck, the offense is upgraded to a Class A misdemeanor. The change is intended to discourage dangerous red‑light running and protect pedestrians.
