The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6706, aims to enhance the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists on roadways. It mandates the Department of Transportation to take specific actions, including the erection of signage and the implementation of a public education campaign focused on the safe sharing of roadways between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Additionally, the bill calls for the development of a framework that allows pedestrians to report unsafe driving incidents, which will be utilized to inform traffic enforcement practices and technologies aimed at improving safety for non-motorized road users.

The bill introduces new legal language that emphasizes the importance of public awareness and reporting mechanisms for unsafe driving, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The overall goal of the legislation is to foster a safer environment for pedestrians and bicyclists by educating motor vehicle operators and utilizing reported data to enhance traffic safety measures.
