Bill > A09331

This bill requires slow-moving traffic, trucks, buses, and other vehicles specified by the transportation commissioner to use only the two rightmost lanes on multilane roadways divided into three or more lanes traveling in the same direction, with exceptions for preparing to make a left turn, using a left exit, or following traffic control device instructions. Additionally, the bill mandates that all lanes other than the two rightmost lanes on such multilane highways must be marked with "NO TRUCKS OR BUSES" signage. The purpose appears to be improving traffic flow and safety by segregating slower and larger vehicles to specific lanes, potentially reducing lane changes and congestion. The bill would take effect on the first day of January following its passage, and transportation authorities are authorized to prepare necessary regulations in advance of the effective date.
