RI H8012

Authorizes Rhode Island cities and towns to adopt ordinances allowing automated road safety monitoring systems (cameras) to enforce stop sign violations, crosswalk violations, and failure to yield to pedestrian violations

Camera enforcement limited to school zones, hospital zones, work zones, and roads/intersections designated by municipalities as high pedestrian safety concern areas

Imposes a $50 civil fine on the registered vehicle owner; violations do not go on driving records and are not considered moving violations

Requires 30-day warning-only period when systems first become operational, signage at camera locations, and public awareness campaigns before activation

Revenue from fines must fund road safety projects focused on reducing vulnerable road user injuries and fatalities, including accessibility improvements for people with disabilities
