AI Summary

This bill revises how traffic violations, particularly those involving red light cameras and right-turn violations, are enforced and managed. It clarifies that challenging the delivery of a notice of violation or citation waives any other disputes about its delivery, and it allows reviewing traffic enforcement officers to issue citations for red light violations, considering factors like failing to yield to pedestrians or other vehicles, or not slowing down sufficiently for a right turn. The bill also mandates that traffic control signals must maintain specific signal intervals and display durations based on posted speed limits, and it requires signage to notify the public about camera enforcement, including for right turns. Additionally, it specifies that the registered owner or the person identified as having care, custody, and control of the vehicle is responsible for the violation, and it outlines procedures for contesting citations, including the ability to review evidence remotely.
