THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Paragraph 2 of subdivision (a) of section 1180-b of the
vehicle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 229 of the laws of 2022,
is amended to read as follows:
2. No photo speed violation monitoring system shall be used in a
school speed zone unless (i) on the day it is to be used it has success-
fully passed a self-test of its functions; and (ii) it has undergone an
annual calibration check performed pursuant to paragraph four of this
subdivision. The city shall install signs bearing the words "photo
enforced" below speed limit signs giving written notice to approaching
motor vehicle operators that a photo speed violation monitoring system
is in use, in conformance with standards established in the MUTCD, and
shall modify existing signage to reflect such written notice in the
regular course of maintenance. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO
THE CONTRARY, SUCH SIGNS SHALL BE PRIMARILY YELLOW, INDICATE THAT THERE
IS A SCHOOL SPEED ZONE AND THAT A PHOTO SPEED VIOLATION MONITORING
SYSTEM IS BEING USED FOR PHOTO ENFORCEMENT, AND SHALL BE PLACED WITHIN
FIFTY FEET IN EITHER DIRECTION OF A PHOTO SPEED VIOLATION MONITORING
SYSTEM.
§ 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to section
1180-b of the vehicle and traffic law made by section one of this act
shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed
therewith.
