Bill Summary
For legislation to reduce traffic fatalities. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce traffic fatalities by implementing several measures. It amends existing laws to require that vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross weight purchased or leased by the state be equipped with lateral protective devices, convex mirrors, and crossover mirrors to improve visibility and protect vulnerable users like pedestrians and bicyclists. The bill also establishes a 25 mph speed limit on state highways and parkways in thickly settled or business districts, allows the Department of Transportation to set speed limits in active construction zones without an engineering study, and requires the development of a standardized reporting form for crashes involving vulnerable users.
