BILL NUMBER:S4459 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public officers law, in relation to establishing in each city with a population of one million or more a demonstration program to enforce maximum speed limits by means of speed limit photo devices; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law and the Public Officers Law to authorize the City of New York to establish a demonstration program that imposes liability on the owners of motor vehicles found to be in violation of the maximum speed limit or the maximum school speed limit in New York City. The speed of such motor vehicle would be measured through the use of a speed limit photo device which combines speed sensing technology which determines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that data by photographic, micro-graphic, video tape or other recording system and produces an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the speed limit. New York City will be authorized to operate from twenty to forty speed cameras at any one time during any year of the program. Such speed limit photo devices may be stationary or mobile and shall be activated at locations selected by the City of New York. JUSTIFICATION:
The large number of speeding motorists is a pervasive problem in some areas of the City of New York. The New York City Police Department issues more than 118,000 summonses each year for speeding violations. These violations are often a significant factor in accidents which result in death or injury to motorists and pedestrians. Children and the elderly are often the victims. Under the present provisions of law, a police officer must be present at the scene of a speeding violation to observe the violation and serve the operator of the vehicle with a summons. It would be very difficult for police officers to be able to observe every dangerous speeding violation that occurs and which endangers the general public. In fact, a motorist can rely on the high odds that a speeding violation will not be detected at all. The purpose of this legislation is to develop a system which will supplement the police effort, by using recent technology to record speeding violations on film or other recording devices. The program will operate in the same manner as the Red Light Camera Program which has successfully reduced the incidence of red light violations in the City, ultimately preventing accidents and saving lives. Technology presently exists which will photographically capture vehicles which exceed the maximum speed limit without the presence of a police officer. This technology combines speed sensing technology that determines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that data by photographic, micro-graphic, video tape or other recording system and produces an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the speed limit. This image can then be used as evidence in a proceeding to impose liability on the owner of the vehicle for the spending violation. This technology is presently in use in Utah, California, Arizona, and British Columbia, Canada. The equipment consists of mobile units which can be moved from neighborhood to neighborhood as the need arises. The enactment of this legislation which is modeled after the enabling legislation which authorized the Red Light Camera Program will enable the City to continue to explore the use of new technology as a means of improving the quality of life in the City. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:; The history of this bill in the Assembly is as follows: 2011-'12: A. 7737 Referred to Transportation; 2009-2010: A. 7744-B referred to Transportation; 2007-'08: A. 7142-referred to Transportation; 2005-'06; A. 5747-a-- referred to Transportation; 2003-'04: A. 4111-a-referred to Transportation; 2001-'02: A. 7355 -referred to Transportation, FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have become a law and expire 5 years after such effective date when upon such date the provisions of this act shall be deemed repealed; and provided further that any rules necessary for the implementation of this act on its effective date shall be promulgated on or before such date.

BILL NUMBER:S4459A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public officers law, in relation to establishing in a city with a population of one million or more a demonstration program implementing speed violation monitoring systems in school speed zones by means of photo devices; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The subject bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law and the Public Officers Law to authorize the City of New York to establish a demonstration program imposing liability on the owners of motor vehicles found to be in violation of the maximum school speed limit in the City through the use of a speed limit photo device which combines speed sensing technology which determines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that data by photographic, micro-graphic, video tape or other recording system and produces an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the speed limit. The City will be authorized to operate from twenty to forty speed cameras at any one time during any year of the program. Such speed limit photo devices may be stationary or mobile and shall be activated at locations selected by such city. JUSTIFICATION: Speeding motorists are a pervasive problem in some areas of the City of New York. The New York City Police Department issues more than 118,000 summonses each year for speeding violations.
These violations are often a significant factor in accidents which result in death or injury to motorists and pedestrians. Children and the elderly are often the victims. Under the present provisions of law, a police officer must be present at the scene of a speeding violation to observe the violation and serve the operator of the vehicle with a summons. There are of course not a sufficient number of police officers to observe every speeding violation. In fact, a motorist can rely on the odds that a speeding violation will not be detected. The purpose of this legislation is to develop a system which will supplement the police effort by using recent technology to record speeding violations on film or other recording devices. The program will operate in the same manner as the Red Light Camera Program which has successfully reduced the incidence of red light violations in the City, ultimately preventing accidents and saving lives. Technology presently exists which will photographically capture vehicles which exceed the maximum speed limit without the presence of a police officer. This technology combines speed sensing technology that determines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that data by photographic, micro-graphic, video tape or other recording system and produces an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the speed limit. This image can then be used as evidence in a proceeding to impose liability on the owner of the vehicle for the speeding violation. This technology is presently in use in Utah, California, Arizona, and British Columbia, Canada. The equipment consists of mobile units which can be moved from neighborhood to neighborhood as the need arises. The enactment of this legislation which is modeled after the enabling legislation which authorized the Red Light Camera Program, will enable the City to continue to explore the use of new technology as a means of improving the quality of life in the City.
