AI Summary
This bill aims to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety by establishing standards for the maintenance of roadway markings, such as crosswalks and lane markings, across the state of Massachusetts. The bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Mass DOT) to set specific standards for the reflectivity and visibility of these markings, which should be regularly reviewed, enforced, and supported with financial incentives for local jurisdictions to maintain them. The bill also allows residents to report deteriorating markings to their local Department of Public Works or Mass DOT, and encourages municipalities to set up hotlines for collecting such complaints. Furthermore, the bill directs Mass DOT to assess the costs of keeping these markings at the required safety level and recommend appropriate state funding to support local efforts.
