Families can request crash memorial signs
Beginning one year after becoming law, this law creates New York's Alexander John Smullen Traffic Safety Memorial sign program. Immediate family members can request signs honoring people killed in qualifying crashes on state-maintained highways, including controlled-access highways. The crash must qualify for the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System, which includes deaths within 30 days. Families must apply within five years of the crash. Applicants pay a state-set fee covering sign design, production, placement, and maintenance; the law sets no dollar amount. A sign is barred for someone whose impaired or intoxicated driving caused another person's death or serious injury. Any immediate family member's objection blocks placement or requires removal of an existing sign. The Transportation Commissioner chooses safe locations based on the crash site, road conditions, existing signs, available space, and other safety factors. Signs must meet highway-sign rules and cannot stand in front of a home or business. Only one sign is allowed per location, but the Commissioner can approve a shared sign for multiple requests. Its design must differ from signs dedicating highways or bridges. Signs are removed two years after initial placement. The Commissioner can remove damaged signs, and families can apply and pay for replacement for the remaining time. The Department must replace signs damaged through its negligence for the remaining time, without an application or fee. On-site dedication ceremonies, decorations, and other items are prohibited. The Department must post program and traffic-safety information online. The Commissioner must issue implementation rules and can prepare them before the program takes effect.
