Texas HB5300 establishes a high injury network project, designates highway safety corridors, and doubles fines for offenses in such corridors.

HB5300 creates a high injury network project to rank Texas roadways based on traffic crash costs. The Texas A&M Transportation Institute will develop this project. The Texas Department of Transportation will annually develop intervention strategies for high-ranking roadways. The department can implement safety measures on high-ranking roadways without certain administrative procedures. Political subdivisions can request safety measures, which require a majority vote for implementation. The department can also designate highway safety corridors, which can be extended or removed.
