Bill > H1061

This bill modifies Florida's traffic laws by prohibiting traffic citations for "right on red" violations, which are turns made after stopping at a red light where permitted, and by establishing new requirements for traffic control signals. Specifically, it prevents the issuance of notices of violation or citations for these right-on-red infractions when using traffic infraction detectors, which are automated systems that capture evidence of violations. The bill also revises procedures for hearings related to traffic violations, ensuring that individuals have the right to request a hearing before any payment is required and that the burden of proof rests with the government entity bringing the charge. Furthermore, it mandates that traffic control signals must maintain specific signal intervals and display durations based on posted speed limits, including minimum yellow light durations and all-red clearance intervals, and sets deadlines for intersections to comply with these updated signal requirements, with penalties for non-compliance.
