Relates to yellow signals at traffic intersections
This bill requires local authorities and the New York State Department of Transportation to examine and certify the accuracy of all traffic-control signals at intersections every two years. It directly affects local governments and state transportation officials responsible for maintaining traffic signals. The key provision adds a mandatory biennial inspection requirement to ensure signals operate correctly and safely. This is a procedural safety measure focused on maintaining signal functionality, not changing traffic rules or funding.
