New Rules Of The Road Take Effect July 1 In State
Pennsylvania’s new traffic law changes take effect July 1. Right turns on red after a full stop become legal where not prohibited, and passing on the right on multi lane expressways is permitted. The code, signed last year, restructures licenses, adds pedestrian rules, bans studded snow tires next May, and sets six license classes based on vehicle weight. PennDOT estimates 4.7 million dollars to implement this year, with 3.4 million for photo licenses and a four year renewal cycle starting after a staggered two year start. Police will receive new code copies amid delays in photo ID rollout and public awareness efforts.
