An Act relative to traffic regulation using road safety cameras
This bill establishes a framework for cities and towns in Massachusetts to use automated traffic cameras to enforce specific violations, such as running red lights, speeding, or blocking intersections. It allows municipalities to install cameras after public hearings, imposes fines between $25 and $150 (with a 60-day warning period initially), and requires annual reports to the state detailing camera locations, safety data, and enforcement results. Registered vehicle owners receive written notices with photos and appeal options, and violations do not count as moving violations on driving records or affect insurance rates. The law directly affects local governments implementing camera systems and vehicle owners cited for camera-enforced violations.
