 AN  ACT  directing the commissioner of transportation to conduct a study
   on the implementation of traffic control devices at intersections with
   a high volume of visual and hearing impaired pedestrians

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The commissioner of transportation shall conduct a study on
 the feasibility and process for installing pedestrian control devices at
 traffic  intersections  involving  a state-owned public road where there
 may be a high volume of pedestrians with visual and hearing impairments.
 Such study shall include an  estimate  of  how  many  intersections  may
 require  such  devices, the method used for determining such estimate, a
 process for  implementation,  and  the  estimated  costs  involved.  For
 purposes  of  this  act, "pedestrian control device" shall mean an elec-
 tronically operated traffic control device composed of one or more indi-
 cations which directs pedestrian traffic  at  signalized  locations  and
 assists  the  visual  and  hearing impaired in safely crossing a traffic
 intersection.
   § 2. Upon completion of the study but no later than  the  thirty-first
 of December next succeeding the date on which this act shall have become
 a law, the commissioner of transportation shall submit a report based on
 the  findings  of  the study to the governor, the temporary president of
 the senate, the speaker of the assembly,  the  minority  leader  of  the
 senate,  the  minority  leader  of the assembly, the chair of the senate
 transportation committee, and the chair of the  assembly  transportation
 committee  which  shall  include the findings and recommendations of the
 study described in section one of this act.
   § 3. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
 have become a law.
