Vehicles: automated traffic enforcement systems.

Existing law defines an "official traffic control signal" as any device, whether manually, electrically, or mechanically operated, by which traffic is alternately directed to stop and proceed and which is erected by authority of a public body or official having jurisdiction. Existing law states that any required stop be made at a sign, crosswalk, or limit line indicating where the stop is to be made, but, in the absence of that sign or marking, existing law requires that the stop be made at the official traffic control signal. This bill would expressly state that a stop is required to be made at an official traffic control signal erected and maintained at a freeway or highway on ramp. This bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
