An Act to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety

HD 3880, "Anna's Law," requires Massachusetts municipalities to maintain visible road markings, especially crosswalks, by setting standards for reflectivity and visibility. It directs the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to establish these standards, measure markings using light meters, and encourage local governments to keep markings in safe condition. Residents can report faded crosswalks or traffic markings to their local public works department or MassDOT, and municipalities are urged to create hotlines for such complaints. The law focuses on ensuring road markings remain effective for pedestrian and vehicle safety through regular measurement, maintenance, and public reporting.
