Safer Streets: Prioritizing Pedestrians, Cyclists, and Public Transit

This act aims to enhance road safety for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit passengers. It modifies road design practices to be more accommodating for various transportation modes and increases transparency in traffic regulation decisions. The goal is to make travel within and outside cities easier, safer, and more accessible.
Key points

Improved roads for pedestrians and cyclists: New road design guidelines will require considering the needs of pedestrians and cyclists, potentially leading to more bike lanes and safer crossings.
Support for small communities: Smaller towns will receive special financial support for road safety projects, helping them create safer infrastructure.
Easier public transportation: The act introduces guidelines for bus stop placement and road design to make public transit more efficient and accessible.
