Proposed local law to protect vulnerable road users postponed for traffic safety board review

The Ulster County Legislature on July 3 postponed consideration of proposed Local Law No. 3 of 2025, a measure described as aimed at ensuring the safety of vulnerable road users, until the county Traffic Safety Board reviews the draft.

“I would like to suggest we postpone this until after it gets reviewed by the traffic safety board,” the Chair said before moving to postpone consideration of the local law. The motion was seconded and approved during the meeting.

The transcript records the reason for postponement as the absence of a Traffic Safety Board review; it does not provide detail about the law’s specific provisions, the board’s expected review timeline, or whether the postponement was with or without direction for substantive change.

No amendment or substantive debate on the law’s text occurred at the meeting; the item will return to the Legislature after the Traffic Safety Board review is complete.
