The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5216, aims to amend section 14-298 of the general statutes to mandate the installation of six-inch-wide edge lines on limited access highways. This legislative change is intended to enhance road safety and reduce the incidence of fatal traffic crashes within the state.

The bill emphasizes the importance of these wider edge lines as a safety measure, reflecting a proactive approach to improving highway conditions. By specifying the width of the edge lines, the bill seeks to standardize road markings and potentially increase driver awareness and safety on limited access highways.
