The Shocking New Bill That Could Change Every Maryland Stop Forever: A Major Shift for Roads, Safety, and Transit In a move that’s already sparking heated debate across Maryland, a groundbreaking new bill is poised to transform how roads, intersections, and transportation stops operate throughout the state. Dubbed by critics as potentially “the most sweeping transportation-overhaul legislation Maryland has seen in decades,” the bill introduces sweeping reforms aimed at enhancing safety, cutting congestion, and modernizing legal stops at every intersection. ### What’s the New Bill About? The Maryland Safe Crossings and Transit Modernization Act (H.B. 2025-123) proposes sweeping changes to existing stop laws—most notably redefining where, how, and when vehicles are permitted to come to a complete stop. Current Indiana-driven “stop” rules at roadside stops, turn lanes, and school zones are under scrutiny as the legislation introduces stricter standards enforced by real-time surveillance and automated systems.
