H 3685 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act designating historic routes

HD 1092 officially names Massachusetts Routes 1, 20, and 6 as "historic United States Routes" and requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to install and maintain signage identifying these routes accordingly. This is a procedural designation affecting only the official naming and signage of these specific roadways, with no changes to traffic laws, funding, or other policies. The bill does not impact drivers, businesses, or residents directly but alters how these routes are labeled on maps and signs.
