Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 1414 changed the wording about the area considered for obstructions to high-capacity transportation vehicles. Previously, the bill referred to vehicles obstructing within the entire right-of-way, but now it specifies that obstructing vehicles must be located within 10 feet on either side of the right-of-way. This change matters because it clarifies the specific area of concern, potentially making enforcement easier and impacting how regulations may apply to vehicles parked close to transit paths.
