AI Summary
This bill aims to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety by establishing standards for markings on roadways, streets, and other traffic surfaces. It requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to set standards for the visibility and reflectivity of these markings, such as crosswalks and lane dividers, and to provide financial incentives to local jurisdictions to maintain these markings at the required level. The bill also allows residents to notify their local Department of Public Works or MassDOT if they believe the markings have deteriorated below the safety standards, and encourages municipalities to set up hotlines for such complaints. Finally, the bill directs MassDOT to assess the costs of maintaining these markings and recommend appropriate funding to support this effort.
