Corry Bill To Reduce Lane Departure Accidents Out Of Committee

A bill authored by Washington 14th District State Representative Chris Corry targeting the reduction of lane departure accidents and fatalities in rural communities has passed out of the House Transportation Committee.  The Yakima Republican’s House Bill 1605 is based on research provided by the Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Target Zero.  The plan offers several ways to address top areas of concern, including lane departure accidents, including wider markings on roads, improved lighting, and surface road treatments.  According to the Target Zero report, in Washington state between 2015-2017, there were 796 fatalities and 2,458 serious injuries involving lane departures.  Lane departure accidents make up 48% of all motor vehicle accidents.  Corry’s bill now waits for a vote by the full House of Representatives.
