Bill > H3301

This bill seeks to amend Chapter 89 of the General Laws to address situations where a driver is moving at a speed that impedes the forward movement of traffic behind them. The bill requires such drivers to move to the rightmost lane if the highway has multiple lanes, or to use alternate routes if the highway is a controlled access highway. The bill also prohibits drivers from bringing their vehicle to a complete stop on the roadway, unless necessary for safe operation or compliance with the law. Violations of these provisions would result in a $600 fine, split evenly between the arresting agency and the court.
