Bill Summary
Relativerelative to motor vehicle speed limits in school zones. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill proposes changes to motor vehicle speed limits in school zones. Specifically, it amends existing law to prevent any city or town from establishing a school zone that is less than 500 feet from the actual school property. Additionally, it increases the fine for speeding within a school zone to twice the amount currently in effect, meaning drivers caught exceeding the speed limit in these designated areas will face a doubled penalty.
