The bill, known as General Assembly Committee Bill No. 5240, mandates that individuals parking landscaping vehicles with trailers on public highways must place traffic cones around their vehicles. These cones must comply with the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and be positioned according to the guidelines set forth in the manual. The law is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and any violations of this provision will be classified as an infraction.

This legislation aims to enhance safety on public highways by ensuring that landscaping vehicles are clearly marked to alert other drivers. The bill introduces new legal language to establish these requirements, while no existing laws are being deleted or amended. The intent is to reduce the risk of accidents involving stationary landscaping vehicles on public roads.
