Establishes accident risk zones to improve road safety in areas with frequent accidents.

The bill allows counties, cities, and towns to create accident risk zones on public roads with a history of accidents. These zones enable authorities to investigate and implement safety improvements. The Department of Transportation must conduct engineering and traffic investigations to identify necessary adjustments, such as speed limit changes. Local law enforcement is required to increase traffic law enforcement within these zones. Drivers found committing traffic infractions in these zones face doubled penalties, with half of the increased fines funding safety improvements.
