standards; citation dismissal

A. Except as provided in subsection F of this section, every local authority or
agency of this state using a photo enforcement system shall adopt standards and
specifications that indicate to a person operating a motor vehicle that a photo
enforcement system is present and operational.

B. The standards and specifications adopted pursuant to subsection A of this
section shall include all of the following:

1. At least two signs shall be placed in a location before a photo enforcement
system. One sign shall be in a location that is approximately three hundred feet before
the photo enforcement system. Placement of additional signs shall be more than three
hundred feet before a photo enforcement system to provide reasonable notice to a person
that a photo enforcement system is present and operational.

2. A sign that clearly states the posted speed limit shall be placed between the
two signs prescribed by paragraph 1.

3. Signs indicating a photo enforcement system shall be removed or covered when the
photo enforcement system is no longer present or not operating.

C. Signs erected by a local authority or agency of this state as prescribed in this
section shall contain a yellow warning notice and correlate with and as far as possible
conform to the system set forth in the most recent edition of the manual on uniform
traffic control devices for streets and highways adopted by the director pursuant to
section 28-641.

D. If the standards and specifications prescribed pursuant to this section are not
in effect during the operation of a photo enforcement system, the court may dismiss any
citation issued to a person who is identified by the use of the photo enforcement system.

E. During the time a vehicle containing photo enforcement equipment is being used
to identify violators of articles 3 and 6 of this chapter, the rear of the vehicle shall
be clearly marked to indicate that the vehicle is functioning as a photo enforcement
vehicle. This subsection does not apply to a vehicle that does not contain a photo
enforcement system and that is used by a law enforcement officer.

F. Subsection B of this section does not apply to a mobile photo enforcement
vehicle during the time a mobile photo enforcement vehicle is deployed on streets with a
posted speed limit of forty miles per hour or less.
