This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 17-4-56, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, which mandates the inclusion of rumble strips on all double-yellow lined roads and highways. The Commissioner of Highways is tasked with developing a plan for the placement of these rumble strips, with a deadline for the plan's completion set for July 1, 2026. The implementation of this plan is required to begin by September 1, 2026, and must be fully completed by June 30, 2036.

The primary objective of this legislation is to enhance road safety by requiring rumble strips, which are designed to alert drivers when they are veering out of their lane. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving the infrastructure and safety of West Virginia's roadways.
