Introduced Text

Ohio SB264, known as the Megan's Way Out Act, mandates drive-through facilities to have adjacent bypass lanes for safety and accessibility.

The Megan's Way Out Act requires drive-through facilities, including financial institutions, pharmacies, and restaurants, to have an adjacent bypass lane. This lane must allow vehicles to exit the drive-through and enable public safety vehicles to access the facility without obstruction. The act applies to new constructions and major renovations after its effective date. Exemptions exist for facilities where space is insufficient or where the drive-through lane passes through the building structure.
