Massachusetts S1318 aims to enhance parking and pedestrian safety by mandating safety appurtenances in commercial developments.

Massachusetts S1318 introduces measures to improve parking and pedestrian safety by requiring safety appurtenances in commercial developments. These appurtenances, such as bollards or retaining walls, must separate parking spaces from walkways and prevent vehicles from entering walkways or colliding with buildings. The bill also establishes a Pedestrian Safety Design Advisory Group to recommend best practices and draft rules. Insurers can consider these safety measures when offering discounts on property insurance.
