a high volume of visual and hearing impaired pedestrians

BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

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.

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 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.

have become a law.
