WA HB1992

Establishes a comprehensive active transportation network including shared-use paths that cross jurisdictional boundaries, authorizing WSDOT to expend funds for planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of these facilities

Creates a formal legal definition of "roundabout" as a one-way counterclockwise traffic intersection around a central island, updates crosswalk definitions for roundabouts, and repeals the previous "circular intersection" terminology

Expands complete streets requirements for state projects $500,000+ to allow WSDOT to use off-state-highway facilities on local or tribal lands as alternatives to on-highway improvements, subject to cooperative agreements and specific conditions including equivalent safety standards

Strengthens requirements for trails and shared-use paths during highway construction by removing the "substantial usage" threshold, requiring consideration of planned paths in adopted plans, and mandating replacement facilities when construction destroys existing trails

Authorizes WSDOT to require recipients of Safe Routes to School, Sandy Williams Connecting Communities, and bicyclist/pedestrian grant programs to comply with complete streets requirements for changes on state rights-of-way
