ESHB 2384 — Concerning automated traffic safety cameras.

What this bill does

Authorizes automated traffic safety cameras (traffic cameras) to be used to detect speed violations on state routes other than limited access highways within city limits. Makes the pilot program permitting traffic cameras to be used for stopping at intersection or crosswalk violations, stopping when traffic obstructed violations, public transportation-only lane violations, and stopping or traveling in a restricted lane violations permanent and expands it to all areas of cities with populations of 90,000 or more residents. Authorizes non-commissioned officers and public employees designated by a city or county to review infractions detected through the use of traffic cameras and to issue notices of infraction. Permits cities and counties to adopt an online ability-to-pay calculator to process and grant requests for reduced fines or civil penalties for traffic camera violations. Restricts the use of revenue generated by traffic cameras to cities and counties for traffic safety purposes, as well as for the costs of traffic camera operations.
