Traffic Safety Amendments

HB 275 establishes a two-year red light camera pilot program (2027-2028) at up to 10 high-risk intersections in Utah, designated using crash, traffic, and injury data. The Department of Transportation manages camera installation and data collection, while local law enforcement agencies issue warnings (not fines) to drivers captured violating traffic signals during a public education phase. The program requires clear signage at intersections and prohibits using camera evidence for citations or penalty points on driving records. It mandates annual reports on the program’s implementation and results before its repeal in April 2028.
