AI Summary

  • Authorizes the Cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, Glendale, and Palm Springs, and the City and County of San Francisco to operate a Speed Safety System Pilot Program until January 1, 2028 to enforce speed limits using automated cameras on specified streets.

  • Requires participating cities to adopt a Speed Safety System Use Policy and Impact Report, conduct a 30-day public information campaign, and issue warning notices instead of violations during the first 60 days of operation.

  • Sets civil penalties for automated speed violations ranging from $50 (11-15 mph over limit) to $500 (100+ mph), with no driver license points or suspension, and establishes a system for initial review, administrative hearings, and court appeals.

  • Designates photographic and video evidence as confidential and prohibits facial recognition technology, data sharing with other agencies, and vendor compensation based on violation amounts; requires municipalities to maintain existing traffic-calming spending and use surplus revenues for traffic safety measures.

  • Requires participating cities to submit reports evaluating the system's impact on street safety and economic effects, and mandates discontinuation of systems on streets that do not meet effectiveness thresholds unless traffic-calming measures are implemented.
