What changed between versions
Added a new section prohibiting vehicles from blocking marked crosswalks, with a fine not greater than $500, except in emergencies or when ordered by law enforcement.
Created new requirements for the State Highway Safety and Modernization Council to identify dangerous intersections, vehicles, and communities, and develop emergency ingress/egress proposals.
Required the Safe Routes to School Advisory Committee to identify 25 of the most dangerous school zones based on crash data and community complaints.
Modified the penalty for refusing breath, blood, or urine tests to require license surrender after the officer informs the person of sanctions and asks if they still refuse.
Authorized the installation of up to 25 additional photo red light imaging detector systems at dangerous intersections and 25 automated speed enforcement systems in school zones, with no citations issued until January 1, 2027.
Established appropriations for the Department of Transportation to coordinate training and education on traffic safety, multimodal infrastructure, and other priorities.
Set the effective date of the Act to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a placeholder or error in the legislative text.
