Bill > S08882

This bill authorizes the use of photo speed violation monitoring systems, which are devices that automatically photograph vehicles exceeding the speed limit, in highway construction or maintenance work areas on all state highways, not just controlled-access highways as previously limited. This expansion aims to improve safety by deterring speeding in areas where workers are present and road conditions may be altered. The bill clarifies that these systems can be used when specific work area speed limits are in effect or when other posted speed limits are applicable, and the owner of a vehicle will be liable for penalties if their vehicle is caught speeding by these systems, unless the operator is convicted of the underlying speeding violation. The bill also removes the restriction that these systems could only be used on controlled-access highways and expands the reporting requirements to include data from all highways, the thruway, and facilities operated by the Triborough bridge and tunnel authority or bridge authority.
