Bill > S2584

This bill aims to reduce traffic fatalities by implementing several key provisions. It amends existing laws to require vehicles over 10,000 pounds to be equipped with lateral protective devices, convex mirrors, and cross-over mirrors if purchased or leased by the Commonwealth. The bill also defines "vulnerable users" such as pedestrians and bicyclists, and requires drivers to pass them at a safe distance. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Transportation to erect signage to notify drivers to share the road safely with vulnerable users, and requires the development of a standardized tool to report crashes involving motor vehicles and vulnerable users.
