DO NOT park in a space reserved for people with disabilities UNLESS you have a disabled parking placard or disabled parking plate. It’s the courteous thing to do, and it’s the law. Know The Rules...Don't Abuse! #StopPlacardAbuse

The @MassDOT Board got briefed on the new vulnerable road user laws from @MassRMV! We're grateful to have the RMV & MassDOT spreading the word about these new laws.
Education about mandatory 4-foot passing will be key to ensuring drivers are giving space to vulnerable users.
