What This Bill Does

Requires toll project entities to install dynamic message signs at each entrance to tolled lanes that have variable pricing. These signs must clearly display the current cost of using the lane, the expected travel time for the tolled lane, and the travel time for adjacent non-tolled lanes, giving drivers transparent information before they enter the lane. Toll project entities have until January 1, 2026, to implement these new signage requirements, with the law taking effect on September 1, 2025.
