HOUSE BILL NO. 1467 Offered January 11, 1995 Prefiled January 10, 1995 A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding a section numbered 46.2-809.1, relating to regulation of residential cut-through traffic by the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner. ---------- Patron--Mayer ---------- Referred to Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 46.2-809.1 as follows:

§ 46.2-809.1. Regulation of cut-through traffic by Commissioner

The Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner, in response to a written request by a local governing body identifying a problem with residential cut-through traffic, may, after notice and a public hearing, implement remedial measures to redirect cut-through traffic on any part of a secondary highway passing through a residential neighborhood, as may be necessary to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth. Nothing in this section shall affect the validity of any city charter provision or city ordinance heretofore adopted.

For the purposes of this section, “residential cut-through traffic” means vehicular traffic passing through a residential area without stopping or without at least an origin or destination within the area.

The provisions of this section shall not apply in (i) cities, (ii) any town that maintains its own system of streets, and (iii) in any county that owns, operates, and maintains its own system of highways.
