HB 1969: Traffic cameras/speed

Summary

• Authorizes cities to operate at least one automated traffic safety camera outside of school speed zones to detect speed violations, and to operate one additional automated traffic safety camera outside of school speed zones to detect speed violations for every 10,000 residents.
• Limits where these traffic cameras can be located to locations identified in a local road safety plan as a priority where other speed reduction measures have not worked, where the rates of collision are significantly higher than the city average and other measures have not worked, that have been designated as a racing zone, or that are within 300 feet of the border of a park or community center.
• Requires the completion of an equity analysis and consideration of its findings when determining where to locate a traffic camera.
