Traffic safety enforcement at dangerous Utah intersections would see a new pilot program under this bill, which directs the Utah Department of Transportation to install red light cameras at up to 10 "high-risk" intersections selected using crash, traffic, and injury data, beginning no later than January 2027 and running through April 2028, with the program set to expire in 2029. At each location, the process starts with at least 60 days of data collection, followed by at least 120 days of public education, during which local law enforcement agencies (not the transportation department) mail written warnings with photo evidence to vehicle owners caught running red lights; no fines or driving-record points would result from these warnings, and camera footage generally could not be used in criminal or civil cases except with a warrant. Drivers would see advance signage warning them that cameras are in use, the department could not contract with vendors who require citations to be issued, and contract terms, costs, and violation counts would be posted publicly online. The Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Safety would be required to report results, including crash-rate data, to the Legislature by October 2028.
