Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, when constructing or reconstructing exit ramps on state trunk
highways that have two or more divided lanes in either direction or interstate
highways, the Department of Transportation must install tire deflation devices on
the exit ramps for the purpose of preventing motor vehicles from entering the exit
ramp from the direction opposite of the direction for which travel has been
designated.

an appendix to this bill.
