 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to establishing
 a highway safety corridor on the Southern State Parkway

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
 2 article 34-E to read as follows:
 3 ARTICLE 34-E
 4 SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY HIGHWAY SAFETY CORRIDOR
 5 Section 1300. Legislative intent.
 6 1301. Definitions.
 7 1302. Southern State Parkway highway safety corridor.
 8 1303. Traffic control signs.
 9 1304. Enhanced traffic enforcement.
 10 1305. Reporting requirements.
 11 § 1300. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares
 12 that the Southern State Parkway has experienced a significant number of
 13 speeding-related crashes and reckless driving incidents, injuries, and
 14 fatalities, creating substantial risks to motorists and the general
 15 public. The legislature further finds that the New York State Police
 16 have undertaken targeted traffic safety initiatives, including "Opera-
 17 tion Southern Shield," to increase enforcement and reduce dangerous
 18 driving behavior along the Southern State Parkway. The legislature
 19 therefore declares that designating a highway safety corridor along a
 20 portion of the Southern State Parkway, together with enhanced enforce-
 21 ment, traffic safety monitoring, and public notification measures, is
 22 necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
