What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, rules of the road apply exclusively upon highways, with certain exceptions. Current law defines "highway" to mean all public ways and thoroughfares and bridges on the same. "Highway" includes roads or driveways in publicly owned parks and in state forests that are open to the public for vehicular travel and roads or driveways that are on the grounds of public schools and institutions under the jurisdiction of the county. A private road or driveway is not included within the definition of a highway.

This bill applies the rules of the road to private roads that are located within manufactured and mobile home communities.
