§ 74.01. INTENT.  


Latest version.
  • The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize the use of an unmanned cameras/monitoring system to promote compliance with red light signal indicators as described by this Chapter, and to adopt a civil enforcement system for red light signal violations. Failing to stop at steady red light signal places the offending vehicle in violation of the city intersection safety ordinance. This chapter prohibits vehicles from obstructing, occupying or passing into an intersection when a steady red light is projected from a traffic control device. This chapter will also supplement law enforcement personnel in the enforcement of red light signal violations and shall not prohibit county, state or local law enforcement officers from issuing a citation for a red light signal violation in accordance with normal statutory traffic enforcement techniques.
