Bill Summary
Relativerelative to speed limits inside certain thickly settled areas or business districts. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill amends a section of Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 90, which deals with motor vehicle regulations, specifically concerning speed limits. The key change is to allow for a speed limit of 25 miles per hour for a distance of one-eighth of a mile within thickly settled or business districts under specific conditions. These conditions include roads that are 35 feet wide or less from curb to curb, where parking is not prohibited on at least one side, or where there is a dedicated bicycle lane. This amendment aims to adjust speed limits in certain urban or commercial areas to potentially enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers in these environments.
