The bill amends existing law to allow specific conditions for dead end ways under subdivision control regulations.

  • Section 81Q of chapter 41

    provided, however, that any rule or regulation so adopted shall allow dead end ways providing a minimum pavement width of 20 feet and with a turnaround, but shall not limit the length of such dead end to less than 1,200 feet or as specified by the State Fire Code as set forth in the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) Code 1 and Publication 1141, as amended (527 CMR 1.00), whichever length is shorter.

    This addition establishes new requirements for dead end ways, including minimum width and length conditions.

  • Any existing rule or regulation promulgated under the subdivision control law shall comply with this act by January 31, 2026 and until such time be waived by the planning board.

    This provision mandates existing regulations to align with the new requirements by a specific deadline, allowing for temporary waivers.
