	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1546, as introduced, Chávez. Traffic control devices.
   Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to place
and maintain appropriate signs, signals, and other traffic control
devices along highways under its jurisdiction. Existing law further
authorizes the department, with the consent of local authorities, to
place and maintain appropriate signs, signals, and other traffic
control devices along city streets and county roads as may be
necessary or desirable to control or direct traffic, or to facilitate
traffic flow, to or from state highways.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
