Requires new large trucks to install side guards to prevent deadly underride crashes.
This bill would require new large trucks to install side underride guards, making roads safer for drivers and vulnerable road users like motorcyclists and pedestrians. It also improves how these crashes are reported and studied, aiming to prevent thousands of deaths and injuries by enhancing safety standards.
Today, underride crashes are a significant public safety threat, causing 31,500 fatalities over the last 50 years, with no substantial progress in prevention. If this bill becomes law, new trailers, semitrailers, and single unit trucks would be required to have side underride guards. Law enforcement would also receive training to better report these crashes. A public website would also provide updated resources and information on underride safety.
