"School Zone Automated Speed Enforcement and Safety Act."
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities and counties to install automated speed cameras in school zones only after conducting traffic studies showing a documented safety need, such as frequent speeding or accidents. It sets strict technical requirements: cameras must be accurate within ±1 mph, capture two images (including license plates), and include violation dates. Revenue from citations must fund the "School Zone Safety Improvement Fund" for local safety projects, not general budgets. The law explicitly prohibits current photo radar enforcement until these new standards are implemented, directly affecting school zones, local governments, and drivers who speed near schools.
