AN ACT ESTABLISHING AN INTERSTATE ROUTE 84 TRAFFIC SAFETY CORRIDOR.

HB 5649 designates a 18-mile stretch of Interstate 84 (from Waterbury exit 18 to New Britain exit 36) as a traffic safety corridor. It requires the Commissioner of Transportation to implement specific safety measures, including increased law enforcement presence and public awareness campaigns, along both eastbound and westbound lanes. The bill directly affects drivers traveling this corridor by focusing on reducing traffic accidents through these targeted interventions. The legislation aims to improve roadway safety through concrete, on-the-ground actions rather than new regulations or funding.
