(A) Use of automated speed detection systems pursuant to state law. The city elects to commence the use of automated speed detection systems ("SDS") in school zones within its jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of state law, including F.S. Ch. 316, and authorizes the placement of SDS within city school zones in accordance with F.S. Ch. 316.
(B) Collection and use of incidental video. In order to provide fair and even enforcement of school zone speeds. the city prefers to utilize video-based enforcement over "still-photograph" enforcement for the dual purposes of reducing camera obstructions and for the benefit of having lane-specific video, which may be used for determining civil or criminal liability for incidents captured incidental to speed enforcement in accordance with § 316.1896(15)(a), Laws of Florida 2023-174.
(C) Use of automated speed detection systems. The city shall utilize SDS consistent with and pursuant to all applicable provisions of state law in order to detect, process and penalize speeding in its school zones, as set forth in the Florida Uniform Traffic Control Law. The use of SDS shall be deemed a supplemental means of enforcing state law, and nothing herein shall be construed or operate to preclude the enforcement of the Florida Uniform Traffic Control Law by any other means provided by law.
(D) Designation of local hearing officers. City special magistrates, as local hearing officers, are designated to conduct hearings requested by alleged violators wishing to contest notices of violation detected by SDS in accordance with F.S. Ch. 316.
(E) Determination of safety need. SDS are authorized for use at the following locations, based upon the City Commission's finding that the school zones where speed detection systems are to be placed or installed constitute a heightened safety risk that warrant additional enforcement measures:
