What’s in it
Under current law, “primary roads” are those roads and streets both inside and outside the boundaries of municipalities which are under the department of transportation’s jurisdiction, including interstate roads. “Secondary roads” are those roads under county jurisdiction. “Municipal street system” means those streets within municipalities that are not primary roads or secondary roads. This bill prohibits a municipal board or body from placing or causing to be placed, or maintaining or employing the use of, any automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement (ATE system) on primary or secondary roads.
