The Enforcing Yield-to-Pedestrian and Truck Restricted Routes Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance traffic safety in the District of Columbia by mandating the Mayor to implement automated enforcement measures for truck restricted routes and yield-to-pedestrian signs. Specifically, the bill requires the installation of at least 30 automated enforcement cameras for truck restricted routes, with 15 of these cameras designated for the Ward with the highest concentration of land zoned for production, distribution, and repair. Additionally, it mandates the operation of 15 automated enforcement cameras to address failure-to-yield-to-pedestrian violations by January 1, 2026.
This legislation amends Section 103(b) of the Safety-Based Traffic Enforcement Amendment Act of 2012 by adding a new subparagraph that outlines these requirements. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions aimed at improving pedestrian safety and regulating truck traffic more effectively. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
