The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), part of the Department of Transportation, is inviting public comments on a new information collection. This project, titled "Study of Warning Devices for Stopped Commercial Motor Vehicles," will assess if warning devices effectively reduce crash risks by making parked or disabled commercial vehicles more noticeable. The study will involve 256 drivers and use advanced testing tools to analyze their responses to warning devices. Comments from the public are welcome until March 10, 2025, to help refine the study and its methods.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to check if special blinking lights or signs make stopped big trucks easier to see, which might help stop accidents. They will ask 256 truck drivers to help them test this, and people can share their thoughts about it until March 2025.
