OH HB143

Amends section 4511.094 to restrict use of traffic law photo-monitoring devices to municipal corporations only, removing authorization for counties and townships.

Requires municipal corporations using photo-monitoring devices to erect warning signs within 300 feet of municipal boundaries on all non-freeway highways, with signs conforming to state transportation department standards.

Establishes that citations issued before warning signs are erected are invalid, unless the municipality maintains at least 90% of required signs and documents annual compliance.

Requires municipalities using photo-monitoring devices at traffic signal-controlled intersections to time yellow lights at least one second longer than the minimum duration established by state standards.

Enacts new section 4511.095 prohibiting the state highway patrol, counties, and townships from using traffic law photo-monitoring devices, with exception only when a law enforcement officer is physically present and issues citations at the violation location.
