Pedestrian Protection Act mandates safety standards for motor vehicles and visibility information for pedestrians.

The Pedestrian Protection Act requires the Department of Transportation to establish minimum visibility standards for motor vehicles to reduce collisions. It mandates safety standards for vehicle features like hood, bumper, windshield, height, and weight to protect pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. The Act also requires the Secretary to publish information on driver visibility of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, and to issue comparative ratings of driver visibility. Full compliance with the safety standards is required within two years of the final rule issuance.
