AI Summary
This bill requires the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to create guidelines and suggestions for establishing "vulnerable road user safety zones" in areas of the Commonwealth that have seen a high number of accidents, injuries, or deaths involving pedestrians or cyclists. In developing these criteria, VDOT must examine crash data, injury and fatality statistics from the past five years, identify the top 25 highway segments with the most vulnerable road user incidents, and consider potential safety improvements, funding for them, and the financial impact of any automated traffic enforcement or criminal penalties within these zones. VDOT is then required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to specific legislative committees by November 1, 2026.
