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.
