Roadway Clean-Up Mandate in Long Island

In an effort to improve roadside safety, a Long Island County has passed a law requiring towers to properly remove glass, car pieces, road flares and other debris following crashes. The bill was signed into law by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. 

County officials say keeping the roads clear will prevent other accidents from happening. "This legislation will take care of that, will provide the teeth necessary for enforcement and for law enforcement to do what they need to do and undoubtedly will enhance public safety out on our roadways," Bellone said.
