Relates to requiring navigation systems which utilize GPS technology to provide the actual height of bridges and overpasses along proposed routes
This bill requires navigation systems sold or used in the state to display the legal height clearance of bridges and overpasses along any route suggested to a driver. It applies to electronic maps and GPS devices that guide vehicles to specific destinations, mandating that these tools provide accurate clearance data whenever a user requests a route. The law also clarifies that manufacturers must include instructions stating that drivers are responsible for ensuring their vehicles comply with height restrictions and other traffic laws. This measure aims to help drivers avoid collisions with low-hanging structures by ensuring critical height information is available within the navigation interface.
