FL S1478

Requires intersections equipped with traffic infraction detectors to be posted with visible signs indicating the monitoring system is in place.

Establishes that detector compensation must be based on equipment value or services provided, not on the number of citations issued or revenue generated.

Adds defenses to traffic infraction citations including: vehicle or license plate theft at time of violation, non-compliant yellow light intervals, right-hand turns in careful manner, and complete stops past stop lines without entering intersection.

Requires municipalities and counties operating detectors to conduct statistical analysis assessing safety impact before and after installation, with results published publicly; if crashes increase after 36 months, jurisdiction must investigate causes.

Mandates yellow light-change intervals comply with Institute of Transportation Engineers standards, with annual testing required and results included in violation notices; detectors must be disabled if signals don't meet standards.
