Existing law authorizes local authorities, for those highways under their jurisdiction, to adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution, on various matters, including regulating traffic by means of specified official traffic control devices and prohibiting the use of particular highways by certain vehicles.

This bill would require the Department of Transportation, when reviewing and
 approving or rejecting an ordinance or resolution that has been submitted to the department for approval by a local authority, to consider the costs of the proposed ordinance or resolution compared to any possible alternative solution to the issue that the proposed ordinance or resolution is addressing and to provide written reasons and justifications for a rejection.

Existing law establishes the Department of Transportation and the California Transportation Commission and vests the department with full possession and control of all state highways and all property and rights in property acquired for state highway purposes. Existing law requires the department to improve and maintain state highways, including all traversable highways that have been adopted or designated as state highways by the commission.

This bill would require the department, on or before December 31, 2027, to conduct a study on highway safety on State Highway Route 74. The bill would require the study to collect specified
 data over the preceding 10 years, as provided, and to develop recommendations to improve highway safety on State Highway Route 74, including recommendations on how to address enforcement facility bypassing on roadways other than State Highway Route 74, as specified. The bill would require the department to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature on or before December 31, 2027. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2029.
