§ 74.02. USE OF IMAGE CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES.

The City shall utilize image capture technologies as a supplemental means of monitoring compliance with laws related to traffic control signals, while assisting law enforcement personnel in the enforcement of such laws, which are designated to protect and improve public health, safety and welfare. This section shall not supersede, infringe, curtail or impinge upon state or county laws related to red light signal violations or conflict with such laws. This chapter shall serve to enable the City to provide enhanced enforcement and respect for authorized traffic signal devices. The City may utilize image capture technologies as an ancillary deterrent to traffic control signal violations and to thereby reduce accidents and injuries associated with such violations. Notices of infractions issued pursuant to the chapter shall be addressed using the City's own Code Enforcement Hearing Officer pursuant to Section 37.45 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Delray Beach and not through the uniform traffic citations or county courts. This shall not bar the use of uniform traffic citations and the county courts when City police personnel decide not to rely on this chapter as the enforcement mechanism for a specific violation.
