HB 5644 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING THE USE OF RETRO-REFLECTIVE PAINT FOR LINES ON STATE HIGHWAYS.

HB 5644 requires the state Department of Transportation to use retro-reflective paint (containing glass beads) for all line markings on state highways. This applies directly to the Department of Transportation, which would implement this standard for highway maintenance. The key provision mandates this specific paint type to improve nighttime visibility and reduce wrong-way driving incidents. The bill aims to enhance roadway safety through a concrete, measurable change in highway marking materials.
