  • Jurisdictions must complete several requirements before using red-light cameras: adopt an authorizing ordinance, conduct engineering review and crash study, ensure proper signal timing, have POST-certified officers review violations, post warning signs, and run a 30-day public awareness campaign

  • Automated speed enforcement is restricted to school zones (with flashers active when children present), work zones (minimum 4 hours duration, 60+ mph normal speed limit, workers present), and high-crash areas exceeding predicted safety levels
