An Act
to create
86.325 of the statutes;
relating to:
a local intersection safety
2
program and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Transportation to establish a local intersection safety program. Under the program, DOT must 1) assist political subdivisions in improving safety at signalized and stop-sign-controlled intersections and 2) upon application by political subdivisions, make improvements or provide reimbursements or grants for improvements to signalized and stop-sign-controlled intersections on highways under the jurisdiction of the political subdivisions that are identified by the political subdivisions as having excessively high intersection crash rates. The bill also requires DOT to identify counties with the highest intersection crash rates to assist in prioritizing the improvements selected for completion under the program. The bill provides $6,000,000 for the program.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
