Prioritizes radar use in areas with documented speed-related crashes or fatalities, school zones, or where adjacent property owners have complained about speeding

Prohibits operating radar at "speed traps," defined as highway sections with speed limits not justified by an engineering survey conducted within the past 10 years, or sections lacking adequate signage warning of upcoming lower speed limits
