2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 39 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation|Section 39:4-8.12 - Findings, declarations relative to traffic control signal monitoring systems.

39:4-8.12 Findings, declarations relative to traffic control signal monitoring systems.  1. The Legislature finds: The disregard of traffic control devices at intersections impedes the efficient flow of traffic, and more importantly, dramatically increases the likelihood of accidents that endanger the safety and well being of motor vehicle occupants and pedestrians. The installation and use of a traffic control signal monitoring system, which complements the efforts of local law enforcement, could serve as an effective tool in encouraging drivers to strictly obey traffic control devices at intersections, facilitating the flow of traffic and protecting the safety and well being of motor vehicle occupants and pedestrians. The Legislature, therefore, declares: It is altogether fitting and proper, and within the public interest, to require the Commissioner of Transportation to establish a pilot program to determine the effectiveness of the installation and utilization of traffic control signal monitoring systems in this State and to approve applications from municipalities where such systems may be installed. L.2007, c.348, s.1.

"Traffic control signal" means a device, whether manually, electrically, mechanically, or otherwise controlled, by which traffic is alternatively directed to stop and to proceed, and which has been approved by the Commissioner of Transportation in accordance with the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways." "Traffic control signal monitoring system" means an integrated system or device utilizing a camera, or a multiple camera system, and vehicle sensors which work in conjunction with a traffic control signal and is capable of producing: a. high resolution color digital recorded images that show: (1) the traffic control signal while it is displaying a red light; (2) a motor vehicle unlawfully entering and continuing through the intersection while the traffic control signal is displaying a red light; and (3) a portion of the rear of the motor vehicle unlawfully in the intersection sufficient to clearly reveal the vehicle's license plate and the make and model of the vehicle; and  b. a video recording of the violation that shows the violation occurring. A digital camera may be used as part of a traffic control signal monitoring system provided the violation images are captured by a digital camera, or a multiple camera system, which produces a set of at least two images for each violation. At least one of the digital color images shall contain the following: (1) the scene of the location where the violation occurred; (2) the violating motor vehicle; (3) the license plate numbers, letters, and issuing jurisdiction; (4) the day, month, and year of the violation; (5) the time of the violation in hours, minutes, and seconds; (6) the amount of time that had passed between the time the light turned red and the violation occurred; and (7) the frame sequence code.
