Adjusts traffic lights on divided highways to include a three-second pause.

West Virginia HB4835 mandates that all traffic-control lights and devices on divided highways include a three-second pause. This change aims to enhance safety by ensuring a brief pause before the opposite set of lights turns green. The state road commission is responsible for reprogramming these devices to comply with the new requirement. This bill does not affect local authorities' ability to place traffic-control devices on state highways, which still requires permission from the state road commission.
