MS SB2667

Authorizes sheriffs and their deputies to use radar speed detection equipment on county roads and highways outside municipal corporate limits that are maintained by the county board of supervisors.

Prohibits operation of radar speed detection equipment at "speed traps," defined as highway sections with prima facie speed limits not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within 10 years of the alleged violation, unless the speed limit conforms to state or federal law requirements.

Exempts posted school zones and local streets or roads (roadways 40 feet or less in width, no more than one-half mile in uninterrupted length, and no more than one traffic lane in each direction) from speed trap restrictions.

Prevents the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol from setting up radar on highways within municipalities with populations exceeding 15,000 according to the latest federal decennial census.

Effective July 1, 2018.
