This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 17-4-56, which mandates the inclusion of rumble strips on double-yellow lined highways during upgrades. The requirement is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to enhance road safety by providing auditory and tactile feedback to drivers, potentially reducing accidents on these roads.

The bill specifically instructs the Commissioner of Highways to ensure that rumble strips are installed whenever double-yellow lined highways are upgraded. This legislative change reflects a proactive approach to improving highway safety standards in West Virginia.
