BILL NUMBER:S6148
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the control of snow and ice on roads and highways
Purpose
This legislation would require that snow and or ice piles at intersections will not exceed three feet in height.
Summary of provisions
Subdivision 2 of section 12 of the highway law and section 16-124 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended to require that all snow piles, snow drifts and or snow banks at intersections will be maintained at a level not to exceed three feet in total height.
Justification
A young constituent had an idea about the need for a law after the tragic death of a family friend in a car accident. Years ago, a young woman was killed in an auto accident that occurred due to severely reduced visibility as the result of high snow banks at an intersection.
This legislation seeks to make our New York State intersections safer and prevent any further tragedies. The bill would require that all snow piles, snow drifts and or snow banks at intersections will be maintained at a level not to exceed three feet in total height.
