S 8617 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a school speed zone camera demonstration program in the village of Colonie

This bill authorizes the Village of Colonie to establish a 10-year demonstration program using photo speed cameras in school zones to enforce speed limits. It directly affects vehicle owners who speed in designated school zones during school hours, before/after school, and during student activities, with cameras limited to 20 zones at once. The program requires strict operational rules, including daily system self-tests, annual calibration, advance signage, and privacy protections to prevent driver identification in captured images. The program expires on December 31, 2030, and limits camera use to specific times and locations based on crash data and roadway safety.
