Traffic accidents; require law enforcement officers to provide notification of to approaching motorists at least a certain distance from.

Summary

The bill would obligate highway patrol, sheriff’s deputies, or municipal police responding to a crash that blocks traffic to give motorists reasonable notice of the incident and any delay within 1,295 feet (about a quarter‑mile). Officers could use a second vehicle with flashing lights, roadside signs placed every 500 feet, or digital overhead signs, unless they judge notification impracticable. The measure was introduced in the Mississippi House but died in committee.
