State Representative Alicia St. Germaine has introduced House Bill 4664 in Michigan, aiming to enhance public safety and maintain traffic flow by preventing unauthorized individuals from obstructing roadways.
The proposed legislation targets those who intentionally block or interfere with traffic on public roads, highways, or sidewalks without authorization. "Blocking roadways is not only dangerous, but it is also disruptive to public safety," said St. Germaine. "This bill ensures that our streets remain open for emergency responders, families, and workers who rely on safe and clear roads every day."
House Bill 4664 responds to increasing concerns about individuals impeding traffic during demonstrations or events, which pose risks to drivers, emergency vehicles, and pedestrians. "We can protect both public safety and the right to free speech," St. Germaine stated. "This legislation draws that line by keeping our roads safe and functional while upholding lawful expression."
