Bill > A08029

This bill amends existing New York state law to expand Westchester County's authorization to use traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring devices (cameras that capture images of vehicles running red lights) by allowing the county to install such a device at one additional intersection on the Saw Mill River Parkway within the Village of Pleasantville. Specifically, the bill permits the county to add this one extra camera location to its existing demonstration program, which currently allows for up to fifty intersections with photo enforcement devices. The installation of this additional camera requires prior written approval from the New York State Department of Transportation, which can rescind or modify its approval at any time. The bill also authorizes Westchester County to design and implement a public information campaign to educate drivers about the new photo enforcement location before the camera becomes operational. The goal of such programs is typically to improve traffic safety by deterring red-light running through automated enforcement and potential monetary penalties for vehicle owners.
