and, after exercising due care as provided by law, may
proceed with due caution when it is safe to do so.
(2) It is not a defense to a violation of subsection (a)
(3) that the driver of a pedalcycle or motorcycle proceeded
under the belief that a traffic-control signal utilized a
vehicle detection device or was inoperative due to the size
of the pedalcycle or motorcycle when the signal did not
utilize a vehicle detection device or that any device was not
in fact inoperative due to the size of the pedalcycle or
motorcycle.

Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
