Bill Summary

To save lives, prevent serious injuries and ease traffic congestion by using automated traffic enforcement safety devices on limited access highways.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 249 of the state's general statutes to allow the use of automated traffic enforcement safety devices (which are likely camera-based systems that can automatically detect and record traffic violations) on limited access highways (also known as controlled-access highways or expressways, where entry and exit points are specifically designed for smooth traffic flow). The primary purpose of this legislation is to improve highway safety by enabling technological monitoring of traffic lane usage, with the goal of saving lives, preventing serious injuries, and reducing traffic congestion. The bill would permit these automated devices to enforce proper lane usage on such highways, potentially deterring dangerous driving behaviors and helping to maintain orderly traffic patterns through technological surveillance and potential subsequent enforcement actions.
