   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.    The  vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
 section 1111-f to read as follows:
   § 1111-F. RED LIGHT CAMERA SIGNAGE REQUIRED. ANY CITY OR COUNTY  OPER-
 ATING  A  DEMONSTRATION  PROGRAM  THAT IMPOSES MONETARY LIABILITY ON THE
 OWNER OF A VEHICLE FOR THE FAILURE OF AN OPERATOR THEREOF TO COMPLY WITH
 TRAFFIC-CONTROL INDICATIONS IN SUCH CITY  OR  COUNTY  PURSUANT  TO  THIS
 ARTICLE  SHALL  INSTALL  AND MAINTAIN SIGNAGE IN EACH DIRECTION OF EVERY
 INTERSECTION WHERE A TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNAL  PHOTO  VIOLATION-MONITORING
 DEVICE IS IN OPERATION. SUCH SIGNAGE SHALL ADVISE THAT A TRAFFIC-CONTROL
 SIGNAL  PHOTO  VIOLATION-MONITORING  DEVICE  IS OPERATING AT SUCH INTER-
 SECTION, AND SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE MANUAL AND SPECIFICA-
 TIONS FOR A UNIFORM SYSTEM OF TRAFFIC CONTROL  DEVICES  AS  PROVIDED  IN
 SECTION SIXTEEN HUNDRED EIGHTY OF THIS CHAPTER. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS
 SECTION,  THE  TERM  "TRAFFIC-CONTROL  SIGNAL PHOTO VIOLATION-MONITORING
 DEVICE" SHALL MEAN A VEHICLE SENSOR INSTALLED  TO  WORK  IN  CONJUNCTION
 WITH  A  TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNAL WHICH AUTOMATICALLY PRODUCES TWO OR MORE
 PHOTOGRAPHS, TWO OR MORE MICROPHOTOGRAPHS, A VIDEOTAPE OR OTHER RECORDED
 IMAGES OF EACH VEHICLE AT THE TIME IT IS USED OR OPERATED  IN  VIOLATION
 OF SUBDIVISION (D) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THIS ARTICLE.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
 it  shall  have become a law and shall expire December 1, 2021 when upon
 such date the provisions of this act shall be deemed repealed. Effective
 immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or  regu-
 lation  necessary  for  the  implementation of this act on its effective
 date are authorized to be made and completed on or before such date.
