Summary
The bill makes it clear that any driver must stop and remain stopped when a pedestrian is in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, and defines when that duty begins. It also increases fines and license suspensions for crosswalk violations, with double penalties in school zones, and expands the negligent injury crime to cover vulnerable road users. The changes aim to reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries.
