speed limit or the maximum school speed limit of the city through the use of a
speed limit photo device which combines speed sensing technology which
determines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that date by
photographic, microphotographic, video tape or other recording system and
produces an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the speed
limit; provides for the expiration of this demonstration program five years
after the effective date.

BILL NUMBER:A7737A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the
public officers law, in relation to establishing in each city with a
population of one million or more a demonstration program to enforce
maximum speed limits by means of speed limit photo devices; and provid-
ing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The subject bill amends the Vehicle and
Traffic Law and the Public Officers Law to authorize the City of New
York to establish a demonstration program imposing liability on the
owners of motor vehicles found to be in violation of the maximum speed
limit or the maximum school speed limit in the City through the use of a
speed limit photo device which combines speed sensing technology which
determines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that data by
photographic, micro-graphic, video tape or other recording system and
produces an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the
speed limit. The City will be authorized to operate from twenty to forty
speed cameras at any one time during any year of the program. Such speed
limit photo devices may be stationary or mobile and shall be activated
at locations selected by such city.

JUSTIFICATION:; Speeding motorists are a pervasive problem in some areas
of the City of New York. The New York City Police Department issues more
than 118,000 summonses each year for speeding violations. These
violations are often a significant factor in accidents which result in
death or injury to motorists and pedestrians. Children and the elderly
are often the victims. Under the present provisions of law, a police
officer must be present at the scene of a speeding violation to observe
the violation and serve the operator of the vehicle with a summons.
There are of course not a sufficient number of police officers to
observe every speeding violation. In fact, a motorist can rely on the
odds that a speeding violation will not be detected.

The purpose of this legislation is to develop a system which will
supplement the police effort by using recent technology to record speed-
ing violations on film or other recording devices. The program will
operate in the same manner as the Red Light Camera Program which has
successfully reduced the incidence of red light violations in the City,
ultimately preventing accidents and saving lives.

Technology presently exists which will photographically capture vehicles
which exceed the maximum speed limit without the presence of a police
officer. This technology combines speed sensing technology that deter-
mines the speed of a vehicle and captures/records that data by photo-
graphic, micro-graphic, video tape or other recording system and produc-
es an image of a motor vehicle at the moment that it exceeds the speed
limit. This image can then be used as evidence in a proceeding to impose
liability on the owner of the vehicle for the speeding violation. This
technology is presently in use in Utah, Californian Arizona, and British
Columbia, Canada. The equipment consists of mobile units which can be
moved from neighborhood to neighborhood as the need arises.

The enactment of this legislation which is modeled after the enabling
legislation which authorized the Red Light Camera Program, will enable
the City to continue to explore the use of new technology as a means of
improving the quality of life in the City.

   30  appropriate jurisdiction  that  the  registrant  or  his  representative
   31  failed  to appear on the return date or any subsequent adjourned date or
   32  failed to comply with the rules and  regulations  of  an  administrative
   33  tribunal  following  entry  of  a final decision in response to three or
   34  more summonses or other process, issued within an eighteen month period,
   35  charging that such motor vehicle was parked,  stopped  or  standing,  or
   36  that  such  motor vehicle was operated for hire by the registrant or his
   37  agent without being licensed as a motor vehicle for hire by  the  appro-
   38  priate  local  authority,  in violation of any of the provisions of this
   39  chapter or of any law, ordinance, rule or regulation  made  by  a  local

   46  has been made or in the case of an administrative tribunal that  he  has
   47  complied with the rules and regulations of said tribunal following entry
   48  of  a  final  decision.  Where an application is denied pursuant to this
   49  section, the commissioner may, in his discretion, deny a registration or
   50  renewal application to any other person for the  same  vehicle  and  may
   51  deny  a  registration or renewal application for any other motor vehicle

   54  of this subdivision and where the commissioner has reasonable grounds to
   55  believe that such registration  or  renewal  will  have  the  effect  of
   56  defeating  the  purposes  of  this  subdivision.  Such denial shall only
