In 2024, the TRIPS Lab released a policy brief to address the lack of protections in the Iowa State Traffic Code for people using crosswalks. Prior to July 1, 2024, drivers were not required to stop or yield to bicyclists riding in crosswalks in Iowa. Currently, the amended act is in place, and all pedestrians on foot as well as those using any human powered device are protected when using the crosswalk.
