SECTION 1. Notwithstanding section 10 of chapter 86 of the Acts of 2008, the secretary of transportation and public works, in consultation with the secretary of public safety, shall promulgate regulations which specifically address public works projects within the City of Boston. Such regulations shall take into account the traffic patterns and volumes of traffic on public roadways within the City, and shall include regulations addressing High Traffic Low Speed Roads. High Traffic Low Speed Roads shall be defined as divided and undivided Public Roadways with a legal speed limit less than 45 miles per hour, but with volumes of traffic more than 4000 vehicles per day.
SECTION 2. This amendment is enacted as a recognition that High Traffic Low Speed roads within the City of Boston present unique challenges in creating construction zone safety plans, and require the utilization of police details to effectively preserve public safety in and around these construction zones.
