An Act providing for safe subdivision ways
HD 3134 sets new standards for dead-end roads in residential subdivisions. It requires a minimum 20-foot pavement width with a turnaround and limits dead-end length to 1,200 feet or the shorter length specified in NFPA fire codes (NFPA 1 and 1141), whichever is shorter. This directly affects developers creating new subdivisions and local planning boards enforcing subdivision regulations. Existing rules must comply with these standards by January 31, 2026, with temporary waivers in place until then.
