Bill Summary
Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in powers of department and local authorities, further providing for authority to erect traffic-control devices.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to clarify the financial responsibilities for installing and maintaining traffic-control signals at intersections involving state-designated highways. Specifically, the bill requires the state department of transportation to pay for the entire cost of traffic-control signal installation and maintenance on state-designated highways. When a state-designated highway intersects with a local authority's highway, the state department will pay for the installation and maintenance costs proportional to the number of state-designated highways at that intersection, with the local authority responsible for paying the remaining balance. This provision aims to provide a clear framework for sharing the financial burden of traffic-control signals between state and local transportation authorities. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its enactment, giving local authorities and the state department time to prepare for the new cost-sharing arrangement.
