A 8227: 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.

S 915: Enables safe access to public roads for all users by utilizing complete street design principles

This bill requires state and local transportation agencies to design all new or majorly reconstructed public roads - including those funded by federal and state money - to safely accommodate all users. Specifically, it mandates considering pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and public transit riders during planning, construction, and major rehabilitation (but not routine maintenance or resurfacing under 10 years). Agencies must incorporate "complete street" features like bike lanes and wider sidewalks where projects meet certain thresholds, such as a 10-year service life for resurfacing. The law applies to all projects overseen by the Department of Transportation and takes effect 180 days after enactment.
