A 8227 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to adjudications and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal indications in the city of Peekskill

This bill allows the city of Peekskill to implement a photo enforcement program for traffic violations at traffic signals. It holds vehicle owners liable for penalties when a photo system captures a violation (like running a red light), not the driver, with notices sent directly to owners. Key provisions require photos to anonymize drivers and passengers, limit penalties to $50 per violation (plus $25 for late response), and ensure no impact on driver's license records or insurance. The program is limited to nine intersections at a time and must comply with specific privacy safeguards in photo collection.
