Summary
The Pedestrian Protection Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to create and enforce design standards for vehicle hoods, bumpers, windshields, height, and weight, and to set minimum visibility requirements. It also mandates the publication of comparative safety and driver‑visibility ratings for vehicles, giving consumers information about how well a vehicle protects pedestrians, bicyclists, and similar road users. The goal is to reduce deaths and injuries from vehicle‑pedestrian collisions.
