Bill > SB1055

This bill amends section 28-650 of Arizona Revised Statutes to provide additional guidelines for contractors and political subdivisions working on roads, streets, or highways. The bill clarifies existing requirements for warning devices at construction sites, specifically mandating that workers must post and maintain warning signs, signals, markers, and barricades that comply with the manual specified in section 28-641. These warning devices must remain in place until the work is completed or until authorized for removal by the governing body. A new provision allows these entities to employ volunteer retired police officers to maintain a visible police presence at the construction site, which could potentially enhance safety and traffic management during roadwork. The bill appears to be aimed at improving safety protocols and providing additional flexibility for managing construction zones by leveraging the experience of retired law enforcement personnel.
