TOPEKA – Cancons Highway Patrol Captain. Candis Bresier car and truck can speak from the experience of a cruiser parking threat on the roadside close to the traffic.

Breshears stated that KHP was committed to a Kansas Senate Bill, in which the state law was amended, in which motorists needed to go on a lane or slow down to pass police, fire, medicine, toes or road maintenance vehicles, which was closed on the side of a road with flashing lights.
Under the Senate Bill 142, the security mandate will be implemented using all motor drivers, stuck or standing on the roadside and caution signals, road flarers, orange cones, reflective triangles or any other warning signal of crisis. If unable to move to a lane, the bill will need to move the drivers with “proper precautions” in their lane, which accepts life-protection risk to people inside or outside a stopped vehicle.
Violation of the new standard will be $ 75 fine, which will match the punishment imposed on motorists who do not take steps to safely pass the emergency vehicle. A second violation within five years will trigger a fine of $ 750 and will be the third $ 1,000 within that time limit.
“Our soldiers can tell about the danger that faced a daily basis when working on the roadside,” Breshers said. “There may be a difference between legs and sometimes a safe traffic stop and seriously injured or killed.”
Joel Scley, director of the policy for the Cans’s Department of Transportation, said that during the last four years about 700 traffic accidents were involved in stable vehicles along the canns roads. Thirteen people were killed as a result of those debris, he said.
The Senate voted 38–2 to send the bill to Kansas House. Members of the Senate dismissed an amendment introduced by Sen Rob Olson, R-Olathe, which may have revoked the 2023 law, which can be used on the roads to unmanned autonomous autonomous distribution trucks. Despite the bipartisan support, Olson’s amendment defeated 18–21, a person will need to stay in a cab-operated box trucks.
“I don’t think this technique is yet,” Olson said. “I think we made a bad option last year. We have got a chance to stop it before starting it. ,
Baldwin City Democrat, Sen Tom Holland said there were legitimate security concerns about autonomous vehicles. He said that by adopting driverless technology, thousands of long -lasting truck drivers would be excluded from work.
The Senate Bill was supported by KDOT, AAA Kansas, Safe Kids Kansas, Canasas Association of Chiefs of Policy, Canasus Peace Officers Association and Kansas Sheriffs Association. During the hearing of the Senate Transport Committee in January, no one testified against the bill.
