An Act relative to protecting residents from hazardous traffic conditions

This bill amends state law to require that new facilities built under specific housing regulations must have direct access to a road designated as an expressway by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Before issuing a building permit for such a facility, the applicant must prove that this direct access exists. The measure directly affects developers and municipalities constructing new housing projects by adding a mandatory infrastructure requirement related to expressway connectivity.
