Bill > HF801

This bill amends Minnesota traffic regulations by restricting the placement of crosswalks near roundabouts. Specifically, the bill prohibits road authorities from establishing crosswalks within 100 feet of a roundabout, with two key exceptions: crosswalks that are controlled by pedestrian signals, and crosswalks that already existed before the bill's effective date (which will remain in place until the roundabout or road is reconstructed). A road authority is defined elsewhere in Minnesota statutes as an entity responsible for maintaining and managing roadways, such as a city, county, or state transportation department. The purpose of this restriction appears to be improving pedestrian safety by preventing crosswalks in areas where traffic patterns around roundabouts can be complex and potentially hazardous for people on foot.
