Bill > SB428

This bill expands the definition of a "school crossing zone" to include areas around public and nonprofit private institutions of higher education, not just K-12 schools, where the presence of students necessitates a warning to motorists. This means that existing laws allowing for photo speed monitoring devices, which are used to automatically ticket speeding vehicles, in school crossing zones will now apply to these college and university areas. The bill also clarifies that these higher education institutions will be responsible for the costs associated with establishing and operating these crossing zones and can adjust the hours for speed monitoring signs to align with their class schedules, as long as student safety is still addressed.
