“The best way we can honor their memory—and protect everyone who travels on our roadways—is by doing everything possible to prevent these crashes before they happen. This law reflects that commitment by bringing together proven technologies, stronger safety measures, and the expertise of transportation and public safety professionals to save lives.”"
