Bill > S1946

This bill aims to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety by establishing standards for the visibility and reflectivity of road markings, such as crosswalks and lane dividers. It requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to set specific standards for these markings, measured by devices like luminometers, and to ensure that local municipalities maintain them at the required levels. The bill also allows residents to report deteriorated markings to their local public works departments or the state DOT, and it calls for the Commonwealth to provide funding and training to help municipalities keep the markings up to the necessary safety standards.
