Requiring any motorized conveyance operating 10 MPH below the posted speed limit on any public road in the state to display emergency flashers.
HB 2588 (West Virginia, 2025) requires drivers operating any motor vehicle 10 miles per hour below the posted speed limit on public roads to display emergency flashers. This directly affects drivers who travel significantly slower than the posted speed, such as those navigating construction zones or slow-moving traffic. The bill mandates the use of flashers as a safety measure in these specific situations and imposes fines of up to $200 for violations (with escalating penalties for repeat offenses). The legislation focuses on a clear, observable safety mechanism without altering speed limits or traffic enforcement standards.
