AI Summary
-
Authorizes first class cities (currently only Milwaukee) to use speed safety camera systems to enforce speed limits and traffic control photographic systems to detect red light violations at intersections
-
Citations may only be issued for speeds 15+ mph over the limit; vehicle owners face forfeitures of $20-$100 for red light violations and standard speeding fines, but no license points or suspensions
-
Requires 30-day public information campaigns, 90-day warning periods before citations begin, "Photo Enforced" signage, annual camera calibration, and posting of enforcement locations on city websites
-
Restricts red light cameras to intersections with annual accident rates of 1.0 or higher; limits systems to 5 intersections per aldermanic district
-
Both programs expire automatically 5 years after initial implementation; collected forfeitures must fund system costs first, then traffic enforcement, safety programs, and infrastructure
Legislative Description
The use of speed safety camera systems and traffic control photographic systems in a first class city and providing a penalty. (FE)
