A new law which goes into effect today allows motorcyclists and cars to proceed through a red light if it's not working. I believe the relevant section of the legislation is copied below.
Full disclosure there is a light near my house that doesn't turn green. I thought this law was already in effect so I've just been going anyway.
Quote:
§ 3112. Traffic-control signals.
* * *
(c) Inoperable or malfunctioning signal.--If a traffic-control signal is out of operation or is not functioning properly, including, but not limited to, a signal that uses inductive loop sensors or other automated technology to detect the presence of vehicles that fails to detect a vehicle, vehicular traffic facing a:
(1) Green or yellow signal may proceed with caution as indicated in subsection (a)(1) and (2).
(2) Red or completely unlighted signal shall stop in the same manner as at a stop sign, and the right to proceed shall be subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop sign as provided in section 3323 (relating to stop signs and yield signs).
§ 3116. Automated red light enforcement systems in first class cities.
