Bill > HB70

This bill requires the State Highway Administration to conduct a study and propose recommendations for a uniform statewide policy on the use of traffic calming devices, which are features like speed bumps or chicanes designed to slow down traffic on roads. The study will examine best practices, establish guidelines for when these devices should be used, suggest ways to help counties and towns implement them, and identify organizations that can assist in developing this policy. The State Highway Administration must report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1, 2026, and the bill will become effective on June 1, 2026.
