Provide requirements under the Nebraska Rules of the Road for motorists and electric personal assistive mobility device operators encountering certain animals being led, herded, or driven on or along highways

Summary

The bill amends Nebraska’s Rules of the Road to give riders of animals, farm equipment and livestock herders the same rights and duties as motor‑vehicle drivers, and it treats operators of electric personal assistive mobility devices like vehicles with specific yielding and signaling rules. It also broadens the “vulnerable road user” definition to include cyclists, pedestrians in crosswalks or on shoulders, and people on coasters, skates, sleds, skis, boards, toy vehicles, wheelchairs and electric assistive devices. The changes aim to improve safety for people and animals sharing highways.
