Relates to adjudications and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal indications in the city of Schenectady
This bill authorizes the city of Schenectady to implement a photo enforcement program for traffic signal violations. It allows Schenectady to install cameras at up to 12 intersections, sending liability notices by mail to vehicle owners (not drivers) when violations are captured, with photos designed to avoid identifying drivers or passengers. Owners face penalties up to $50 per violation (plus $25 for late response), but the program does not count as a driving conviction, affect driving records, or impact insurance. The policy applies exclusively to Schenectady and requires owners to prove a vehicle was reported stolen during the violation to avoid liability.
