Bill Summary

To reduce traffic fatalities

AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce traffic fatalities by making several changes to Massachusetts' traffic laws and regulations. It requires certain large motor vehicles to be equipped with lateral protective devices, convex mirrors, and cross-over mirrors to improve visibility and prevent crashes with vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists. The bill also increases the required passing distance for vehicles overtaking vulnerable users and lowers speed limits in certain areas. Additionally, the bill directs the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to develop a standardized tool for reporting crashes and incidents involving motor vehicles and vulnerable users.
