Relating generally to traffic safety

SB 795 defines "maintenance vehicle" as any vehicle used by state, local, or private companies for public highway or bridge maintenance. It requires drivers to slow down and, if safe, move over when approaching stationary maintenance vehicles displaying warning lights (like amber or red). Violations can result in fines up to $500, license suspensions (ranging from 90 days for property damage to 2 years for fatalities), or jail time. This bill directly affects all drivers on West Virginia highways, creating new obligations for approaching road crews and emergency vehicles. The bill is pending in the Senate Transportation and Judiciary committees.
