Safe Passage on Interstates Act of 2025

This proposal, called the Safe Passage on Interstates Act of 2025, would make it a federal crime to intentionally block or interfere with traffic on interstate highways. It targets actions like deliberately slowing traffic, standing in or near moving lanes, approaching cars in traffic, or doing anything that makes it unsafe for vehicles to move normally. There would be criminal penalties for breaking this law. Government-approved activities, like permitted road work or official responses, would be exempt.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People on or near interstate highways nationwide; drivers and passengers who use these roads.
• What changes: Intentionally obstructing or endangering traffic on an interstate becomes a federal offense, with penalties; government-authorized activities are allowed.
• Purpose: To prevent intentional obstruction of roadways on the Interstate System and keep traffic moving safely and normally.
