Bill > HB5348

This bill prohibits pedestrians from standing in roadways or on rights of way, which are areas of land adjacent to a road. The Legislature has found that people standing in these locations, or near the roadway, pose significant safety risks to themselves and drivers. Violating this prohibition is considered a misdemeanor, with penalties escalating for repeat offenses, starting with a fine of up to $100 for a first offense, up to $200 for a second offense within a year, and up to $500 for a third or subsequent offense.
