HR 7263 would require the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue rules within one year mandating that newly manufactured motorcoaches sold in the United States provide drivers with a clear, unobstructed view of the road directly in front of the bus. Manufacturers could meet this standard either by redesigning the physical structure of the bus or by installing cameras or other technology covering otherwise-blocked areas. Any camera system used would need to meet existing federal standards for vehicle controls and displays.
The rules would apply to motorcoach manufacturers that build and sell buses in the United States, as well as bus operators such as charter companies and transit agencies purchasing new buses going forward. Passengers and pedestrians are also identified as affected parties.
Large buses can have wide front frames and dashboards that block a driver's view of pedestrians, cyclists, or other hazards at intersections and crosswalks. The bill aims to reduce accidents at intersections by expanding what bus drivers can see.
