Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the transportation law, in relation to requiring the addition of fog lines on all state highways and other public ways under the jurisdiction of the department of transportation when repaved
AI Summary
This bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) to add fog lines to all state highways and public ways under its jurisdiction whenever those roads are repaved. Fog lines are painted white lines that run along the edges of roadways, helping to delineate the road's boundaries and improve driver visibility, especially during low-light or foggy conditions. The new provision will be added to section 14 of the transportation law as subdivision 16-a, mandating that the commissioner of transportation ensure these lines are painted during any repaving project. The bill will take effect one year after becoming law, giving the DOT time to implement the new requirement and plan for the additional line painting during future road maintenance and repaving efforts.
