VA HB818

Expands Virginia's photo speed monitoring device law to allow localities without their own law-enforcement agencies to deploy speed cameras on "reduced-speed segments" where the locality has lowered the speed limit by ordinance

Requires such localities to authorize officers from the law-enforcement agency with jurisdiction in the area, or retired sworn law-enforcement officers employed by the locality, to issue summonses and certify violations

Maintains existing civil penalty structure of up to $100 for vehicles traveling 10+ mph over the posted speed limit, with penalties paid to the locality where the violation occurred

Requires conspicuous signage within 1,000 feet of any reduced-speed segment using photo speed monitoring, consistent with requirements for school zones, work zones, and high-risk intersections

Allows private vendors to contract directly with localities without their own law-enforcement agencies to provide speed monitoring equipment and support services, with compensation based on value of services rather than number of violations
