An Act protecting motorists and emergency personnel

This bill amends traffic law to add a new rule allowing vehicles to use the lane adjacent to the right lane (the lane closest to the curb) in construction zones when the Department of Highways has erected signs permitting it. It directly affects motorists driving in construction areas and aims to improve safety for both drivers and emergency personnel responding to incidents. The key provision requires specific highway department signage to authorize this lane usage, providing clearer guidance during roadwork.
