Bill Summary

Promoting construction zone safety

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to allow the Department of Transportation to establish a speed limit in an "active construction zone" without conducting an engineering study. The bill defines an "active construction zone" as an area on a public highway or adjacent right of way where construction, repair, maintenance, or survey work is being performed. The bill authorizes the Department to post a fixed or electronic speed limit sign in these areas, and any speed in excess of the posted limit will be subject to a fine of twice the normal amount.
