Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 2288 specifies that signs must be posted at all roundabouts, requiring both a yield sign and a new sign indicating that large trucks have the right of way. Earlier, the wording was less clear, only stipulating that at least one sign was necessary. This change is important because it enhances safety by clearly informing drivers, especially in larger vehicles, about traffic rules at roundabouts, which can prevent accidents. Additionally, the definitions for "collector streets" and "local roads" were added to provide clarity on what types of roads are affected by these regulations.
