Bill > H3071

This bill amends Chapter 85 of the General Laws by adding a new section, 2F, which mandates that crosswalks established and kept up on public roads must follow the specific standards and recommendations found in Section 3B.18 of the 2009 edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD is a widely recognized standard used in the United States to regulate traffic signs, signals, and markings, ensuring consistency and safety for drivers and pedestrians across different jurisdictions. This provision aims to standardize the appearance and functionality of crosswalks, making them more recognizable and effective in promoting pedestrian safety on public ways.
