    House Bill 16-1231

    Uploaded by

    Michael_Lee_Roberts
    This bill proposes limiting the use of automated vehicle identification systems (red light cameras) to detect traffic violations in Colorado. It would prohibit their use on collector roads and local streets, but allow them in school zones, construction zones, and on arterial roads. Any fines collected through these systems must be used for traffic safety improvements, enforcement, or related purposes. The goal is to curb the expansion of red light cameras while still allowing their use in areas where traffic safety is a higher concern.
