HD 3867 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to neglecting to yield to a crossing guard or traffic officer

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require drivers to yield to crossing guards and traffic officers, expanding an existing requirement that already applied to police officers. It directly affects drivers who operate vehicles near school zones or traffic control points where crossing guards or traffic officers are directing traffic. The key change adds "crossing guard or traffic officer" to the list of personnel drivers must yield to under Chapter 90, Section 25. This is a straightforward update to existing traffic law, clarifying who must be yielded to without creating new penalties or altering enforcement procedures.
