A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled “Michigan vehicle code,” by amending section 79d (MCL 257.79d), as added by 2003 PA 315.
This bill seeks to redefine "work zone" within the context of vehicular traffic areas adjacent to construction, maintenance, public utility work, reconstruction, repair, resurfacing, or surveying activities. The bill specifies criteria for a work zone, including the presence of signage indicating the start and end of work areas, the use of a "begin work convoy" and "end work convoy" signs, and the positioning of vehicles or equipment with rotating beacons or strobe lights.
