What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, traffic control devices containing advertising are not

permitted on highways. An exception is provided for the use of certain flags by

members of school safety patrols to warn traffic that children are about to cross the

roadway. To meet the exception a school safety patrol flag must be federal yellow, 24

inches square, bear the words "safety patrol" or "school," and be attached to a

lightweight pole eight feet or less in length. Under this bill, the school safety patrol

flag exception also includes flags that are fluorescent yellow and between 20 inches

and 24 inches square.
