HB 1253 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits passing on certain roadways within 1,000 feet of the driveway of certain public schools located on federal or state highways

HB 1253 amends existing passing laws to prohibit drivers from passing other vehicles on the left within 1,000 feet of a public school driveway entrance located on a federal or state highway (outside city limits). This directly affects drivers operating vehicles on highways near public schools, adding a specific buffer zone where passing is restricted. The key mechanism is modifying the standard passing rules to include this school zone exception, which applies to all highway sections outside incorporated city boundaries. The bill does not create new passing prohibitions but adds this safety requirement to existing traffic regulations.
