BILL NUMBER:A9823 REVISED 4/12/10 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to roadway lane markings PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law to clarify which roadway official traffic control devices prohibit the changing of travel lanes in the same direction. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends subdivi- sion (d) of section 1128 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to provide that when official traffic control devices are installed on roadways prohib- iting the changing of lanes, drivers shall obey the direction of every such device, provided that for the purpose of this subdivision, official traffic control devices are designated by a two normal solid while line pavement marking or a sign. Section 2 provides that this act shall take effect immediately. JUSTIFICATION: The current Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1128(d) provides that when official markings are in place indicating those portions of any roadway where crossing such markings would be especially hazardous, no driver shall drive across such marking. The original intent of this section was as a no lane change provision to law with the determination of what is especially hazardous to be made by the DOT (for state roads) or local legislative body (for local roads). However, the current

BILL NUMBER:A9823A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to roadway lane markings PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law to clarify that it is not a violation of VTL § 1128(d) for a motorist to cross the line marking the beginning of the shoulder. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision (d) of section 1128 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to provide that the crossing of the line separating the roadway from the shoulder on either side of the roadway shall not be a violation of this subdivision. Section 2 provides that this act shall take effect immediately. JUSTIFICATION: As the current Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1128(d) is written, official highway markings are those that shall not at any time be crossed by a driver. The law's original intent was as a "no lane change" provision to the vehicle and traffic law. However, the current law is vague and allows police officers to issue a ticket in violation of section 1128(d) to anyone whom the officer deems has, in a-hazardous manner crossed a marking such as the edge line, which could include your own driveway entrance. The Appellate Term, of the Second Department found in People Shulman that the white edgeline
