I wish Texas would enact one of these, but they won't. Instead, they enacted a law that requires that all signal lights be able to recognize the presence of a motorcycle. What happens when you find one that doesn't? Nothing. They very carefully made sure there was no enforcement provision in the law. Because of that, cities have zero incentive to actually fix lights that are in violation of the law. I've learned to just avoid lights on my regular commute. Oh, and I talked to a police officer and she said she'd for sure write me a ticket for running a malfunctioning light, even if she'd sat there and watched me stuck at it for ten minutes and knew that it wouldn't recognize my bike.
