NC S269

Authorizes the City of Durham to establish a pilot program by December 1, 2018 using electronic speed-measuring systems to detect speed violations in school zones.

Violations detected by these systems are noncriminal civil violations with a $250 penalty and no driver's license points assessed.

Registered vehicle owners receive notice by mail and have 30 days to either pay the penalty, contest the violation, or provide a sworn affidavit identifying the actual driver; failure to respond within 30 days results in an additional $125 penalty.

Requires warning signs posted within 1,000 feet of speed-measuring system locations and establishes an administrative hearing process with appeal rights to district court for violation challenges.

Pilot program expires three years after implementation or upon submission of a required report to the General Assembly, whichever is earlier; requires Durham to pay a $1,000 one-time fee to the Division of Motor Vehicles before implementation.
