Decades of research shows that expanding roads doesn’t provide lasting congestion relief. More lanes means more traffic.

Safer Roads for Everyone

Yesterday, the State Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill making it a crime to drive unnecessarily close to, near or toward a bicyclist or pedestrian. A violation resulting in no injury is a misdemeanor. A violation resulting in a serious injury or death is a felony. This is a new crime and does not remove any other potential penalties. The bill will proceed to the House after the spring break in April. The new bill, once enacted, will provide a new tool for police to help keep our roads safer for all users.
