AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Transportation Law to expand the Department of Transportation's responsibilities for traffic safety studies and crash prevention. Specifically, the bill requires the Department to conduct a traffic study following any pedestrian fatality at a state highway intersection, which must include analysis of potential geometric design improvements, traffic control devices, and other measures to reduce traffic crashes and fatalities. The study must identify trends and patterns related to fatal or serious injury traffic crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists, and the Department is authorized to analyze and propose potential safety actions, such as street design and infrastructure modifications. The bill also mandates that the Department coordinate with other relevant agencies and make study reports available to the public upon request. This legislation aims to improve traffic safety by requiring more comprehensive and proactive analysis of fatal pedestrian crashes, with a focus on understanding underlying patterns and developing targeted interventions to prevent future accidents.
