BILL NUMBER:S6918 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, the public officers law and the general municipal law, in relation to establishing in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk a demonstration program implementing speed violation monitoring systems in school speed zones by means of photo devices, and in relation to photo speed violation monitoring systems in school speed zones in the city of New York; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To reduce incidents of speeding in school zones in order to better protect schoolchildren. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The bill would authorize the counties of Nassau and Suffolk to each establish a four-year pilot program to impose monetary liability on vehicle owners for the failure of vehicle operators to comply with maximum posted speed limits in school speed zones during school days and school activities. These counties would be authorized to use photo speed violation monitoring systems within one school speed zone per school district in the counties.
Additionally, the bill would expand the number of school speed zones in which the City of New York would be authorized to use speed cameras in its demonstration program by an additional 120, for a total of 140. JUSTIFICATION: The safety of schoolchildren around our schools is of paramount importance. In an effort to assess the effectiveness and impact in New York of automated enforcement systems on deterring drivers from speeding on streets where schools are located and thereby increase the safety of schoolchildren, the Legislature last year authorized the City of New York to implement a pilot program for the use of photo speed enforcement in up to twenty school zones. This bill would expand the size of this pilot program by expanding the number of school speed zones eligible for automated speed enforcement to a total of 140. The bill also would authorize the counties of Nassau and Suffolk to implement pilot programs for the use of photo speed violation monitoring systems in one school speed zone per school district in each county (69 in Suffolk County and 56 in Nassau County). While there have been a variety of studies over the years on automated enforcement, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found that only a few studies were "well-controlled." By authorizing a greater number of cameras in New York City as well as pilot programs in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, this bill is intended to provide New York-specific information on speed camera performance and to reduce incidents of speeding at locations targeted to protect some of our most vulnerable residents, our schoolchildren. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the State. EFFECTIVE DATE: 30th day after enactment, to expire and be deemed repealed four years after such date.
