HB630:

Photo speed monitoring devices; locality-designated highway segments.

Bill Summary:

Photo speed monitoring devices; locality-designated
highway segments. Authorizes localities to, by ordinance, authorize
their local law-enforcement agency to place and operate photo-speed
monitoring devices in certain locations named in the ordinance, provided
that (i) the highway has a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour
or greater; (ii) the ordinance identifies the locality-designated
speeding offense to be enforced by the photo speed monitoring device;
(iii) speeding, crash, or fatality data support the need for stronger
enforcement against speeding; and (iv) in counties and towns whose
roads are subject to the control and jurisdiction of the Department
of Transportation, the locality-designated highway segment is in
the secondary state highway system. The bill directs the locality
to also identify the speeding violations that may be enforced by photo
speed monitoring device. Current law authorizes the use of photo
speed monitoring devices in highway work zones and school crossing
zones.
