New Nevada Law re Red Lights

Just saw a tweet for this site: http://safeonred.com

Here's the text-

When motorcycle and bicycle riders are stopped at a traffic signal, they may be unable to trigger a green light to proceed.
[Beginning October 1st], if cyclists have waited for two traffic light cycles, they can legally move through the intersection on red, but only after safely yielding to pedestrians and other traffic.

The actual law:
NRS 484B.307, section 2, subsection 6, paragraph d

(d) After complying with the requirement to stop, a person driving a motorcycle, moped or trimobile or riding a bicycle or an electric bicycle may proceed straight through or turn right or left if:
(1) The person waits for two complete cycles of the lights or lighted arrows of the applicable official traffic-control device and the signal does not change because of a malfunction or because the signal failed to detect the presence of the motorcycle, moped, trimobile, bicycle or electric bicycle;
(2) No other device at the place prohibits either or both such turns, if applicable; and
(3) The person yields the right-of-way to pedestrians and other traffic proceeding as directed by the signal at the intersection.
