HB 490 Delaware House · 151st General Assembly (2021-2022)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC MONITORING FOR VEHICLE OBSTRUCTIONS SYSTEM.

Summary
Delaware’s Motor Vehicle Statutes contemplate for vehicle obstructing traffic enforcement by law enforcement agencies. It is not always possible for law enforcement officers to enforce the right-of-way regulations in areas effectively due to a number of considerations, including officer availability and safety. This bill would enable the state and municipal authorities to enforce right-of-way regulations in identified areas more effectively. This bill only imposes civil penalties for violations and does not impose points on an individual’s driver’s license.
