 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to requirements
   for signs providing notice of the use of a photo speed violation moni-
   toring system
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Paragraph 2 of subdivision (a) of  section  1180-b  of  the
 vehicle  and traffic law, as amended by chapter 229 of the laws of 2022,
 is amended to read as follows:
   2. No photo speed violation monitoring  system  shall  be  used  in  a
 school speed zone unless (i) on the day it is to be used it has success-
 fully  passed a self-test of its functions; and (ii) it has undergone an
 annual calibration check performed pursuant to paragraph  four  of  this
 subdivision.  The  city  shall  install  signs  bearing the words "photo
 enforced" below speed limit signs giving written notice  to  approaching
 motor  vehicle  operators that a photo speed violation monitoring system
 is in use, in conformance with standards established in the  MUTCD,  and
 shall  modify  existing  signage  to  reflect such written notice in the
 regular course of maintenance.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW  TO
 THE  CONTRARY, SUCH SIGNS SHALL BE PRIMARILY YELLOW, INDICATE THAT THERE
 IS A SCHOOL SPEED ZONE AND  THAT  A  PHOTO  SPEED  VIOLATION  MONITORING
 SYSTEM  IS  BEING USED FOR PHOTO ENFORCEMENT, AND SHALL BE PLACED WITHIN
 FIFTY FEET IN EITHER DIRECTION OF A  PHOTO  SPEED  VIOLATION  MONITORING
 SYSTEM.
   §  2.  This  act  shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 have become a law; provided, however, that  the  amendments  to  section
 1180-b  of  the  vehicle and traffic law made by section one of this act
 shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed
 therewith.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
