Expands road safety efforts to protect people near disabled cars and those working in construction zones.
This bill would make roads safer by focusing more on people near broken-down cars and those working in construction zones. It would expand "Move Over or Slow Down" laws to cover more roadside situations and create groups to study crashes and find solutions. This means better data and new plans to prevent injuries and deaths on our roads.
Today, federal highway safety programs and "Move Over or Slow Down" laws primarily focus on general road safety and emergency vehicles. Detailed data on crashes involving disabled vehicles or specific roadside and work zone deaths is not consistently collected or prioritized. After this bill, highway safety programs would explicitly include people near disabled vehicles, and "Move Over or Slow Down" campaigns would cover a wider range of roadside situations. New working groups would collect detailed data on disabled vehicle and work zone crashes, develop strategic safety plans, and improve data sharing, aiming to reduce injuries and deaths.
