For legislation relative to pedestrian safety. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning pedestrian safety, amends a section of Massachusetts General Laws, specifically chapter 90, section 24, which deals with the operation of motor vehicles. The key change is the insertion of the phrase "as motorists or pedestrians" after the word "licensees" in the first sentence of that section. This addition clarifies that the provisions of this law apply to individuals acting both as drivers (motorists) and as people walking (pedestrians), ensuring that safety regulations encompass both roles.
