An Act relative to container safety on roadways

HD 1084 requires that temporary non-reducible loads like dumpsters, shipping containers, and pods left in roadways, private lots, or municipal lots must have reflective tape adhered to them. The tape must meet the standard defined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s CFR 393.11. This applies directly to businesses or property owners placing these containers in traffic areas. The bill amends existing law to mandate this safety measure without changing federal standards.
