What’s in it

This bill requires any governmental entity which exercises jurisdiction over a highway to construct and maintain rumble strips on certain highways. The bill defines the term “rumble strips”. Under the bill, rumble strips are required in advance of all stop signs and traffic-control signals located on a highway where the highway enters or crosses a primary highway. However, rumble strips are not required on unpaved highways, on highways inside the limits of any incorporated city, or on highways with a speed limit of less than miles per hour.
