Massachusetts H3798 allows cities and towns to establish school zones for locomotives, setting a maximum speed limit of 20 mph.
Massachusetts H3798 amends the General Laws to allow cities and towns to establish designated school zones for locomotives, setting a maximum speed limit of 20 mph. These zones can be established by a vote of the city council or town meeting. The zones become effective only after the city or town notifies railroad corporations and erects signs indicating the zone and speed limit. The cost of erecting and maintaining these signs falls on the city or town.
