NC S284

Authorizes the City of Greensboro to establish a pilot program by December 1, 2021, using electronic speed-measuring systems to detect speeding violations in school zones.

Violations detected by the system are noncriminal civil violations with a $250 penalty and no points assessed to the driver's license; registered vehicle owners are liable unless they identify the actual driver within 30 days.

Electronic speed-measuring systems must produce photographs showing the vehicle, registration number, date, time, location, and recorded speed, with warning signs posted no more than 1,000 feet from the system.

The City must provide an administrative hearing process to challenge penalties, with appeals available to district court within 30 days and further appeal to the Court of Appeals.

The pilot program expires three years after implementation or upon submission of a required report to legislative committees, whichever is earlier; the City must pay a $1,000 one-time fee to the Division of Motor Vehicles before implementation.
