SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

"Photo-red" traffic light signal enforcement program. Adds Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Newport News, Manassas, Manassas Park, Fredericksburg, James City County, York County, and Albemarle County to the list of localities authorized to have "photo-red" traffic light signal enforcement programs. This bill requires a law-enforcement officer of the locality to certify a traffic light violation. It prohibits use of a monitoring system that records a vehicle lawfully entering an intersection, unless this recording is incidental to the recording of a violation using video. It requires localities to maintain a minimum timing for yellow lights and to notify citizens prior to the implementation of such a system. This bill removes the sunset date.
