Bill > HR399

This resolution creates the House Study Committee on One-way Street Markings, which will be composed of five House of Representatives members appointed by the Speaker, the commissioner of transportation (or designee), and the director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety. The committee's primary purpose is to study the challenges and potential improvements related to one-way street markings, focusing on how to enhance road safety for drivers and pedestrians, particularly addressing issues like driver confusion, inadequate signage, and navigation system errors. The committee is authorized to conduct meetings, recommend legislative actions, and investigate best practices for pavement demarcations and one-way street identification. Legislative members will receive standard allowances, and state officials will be reimbursed for expenses. The committee is required to file a report with findings and potential legislative recommendations, which must be approved by a majority vote, and the committee will be automatically dissolved on December 1, 2025. The study aims to explore how improved street markings can reduce wrong-way travel and decrease accident risks by providing clearer guidance to motorists.
