AB 882 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Highways: victim memorial signs.

Summary

Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to design, construct, place, and maintain, or cause to be designed, constructed, placed, and maintained, "Please Don't Drink and Drive" signs on state highways in memory of accident victims killed in accidents involving another party who was convicted of drunk driving or various other alcohol-related offenses, as specified, if the sign is requested or consented to by an immediate family member of the accident victim and the requester pays a fee to cover the department's costs, as specified. This bill would expand these provisions to also include "Please Drive Safely" signs in memory of victims killed in vehicular accidents unrelated to drugs or alcohol. The bill would limit to 24 the number of signs that may be placed each calendar year under these new provisions, with a maximum of 2 signs per year in each district of the department.
