Bill Summary

Relative to increasing the fine for speeding in a “breakdown lane” where such travel is permitted. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 90 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to increase the fine for speeding in a "breakdown lane" where such travel is permitted. Specifically, the bill would insert language into the existing law to include the fine for speeding in the lane adjacent to the right lane if signs have been erected by the Department of Highways permitting the use of such lane. This change aims to protect both motorists and emergency personnel by deterring drivers from illegally using these designated areas.
