An Act relative to traffic regulation using road safety cameras

This bill allows Massachusetts cities and towns to install automated cameras to enforce specific traffic violations, including running red lights, illegal right turns on red, speeding, and blocking intersections. Municipalities must hold public hearings to approve camera locations and annually report safety data, crash statistics, and enforcement results to MassDOT. Registered vehicle owners face fines of $25-$150 for violations caught by cameras, but for 60 days after installation, only warnings are issued instead of fines. The bill ensures these violations do not count as moving violations for insurance surcharges or appear on a driver’s record.
