Overview
- A pilot program will ticket drivers who speed through highway work zones using radar or laser systems that photograph license plates and mail citations to registered owners.
- Cities and counties may set school‑zone limits at 20 mph through local action until 2031, after which the lower speed will apply wherever posted signs indicate it.
- All e‑bikes must display a rear red reflector or light at all times, and beginning in 2026 e‑bikes, powered mobility devices and lithium‑ion batteries must meet accredited lab testing and labeling, with noncompliant rentals barred starting in 2028.
- Police can issue notices of autonomous‑vehicle noncompliance to manufacturers for traffic violations, and driverless AVs must carry two‑way communication devices for first responders by July 1.
- Possessing key‑programming devices or signal extenders with intent to commit burglary becomes a misdemeanor, and the ‘slow down and move over’ rule now covers any stationary vehicle using hazard lights, cones or flares, including highway maintenance trucks.
