Sec. 18-329. Procedures for Creation of Photographic Traffic Signal Enforcement Systems. (a) Before installing a photographic traffic signal enforcement system at an intersection approach, the City shall conduct or cause to be conducted a traffic engineering study or the approach to determine whether, in addition to or as an alternative to the system, a design change to the approach or a change in the signalization of the intersection is likely to reduce the number of red light violations at the intersections.

(e) In addition to installing the photographic traffic signal enforcement system, the City shall also install signs along each roadway that leads to the intersection at which such system is installed. The signs must be at least 100 feet from the intersection or located according to the standards established in the manual adopted by the Texas Transportation Commission under section 544.001 of the Texas Transportation Code.

Page 4 (c) After installing a photographic traffic signal enforcement system at an intersection approach, the City shall monitor and annually report to the Texas Department of Transportation the number and type of traffic accidents at the intersection to determine whether the system results in a reduction in accidents or a reduction in the severity of accidents. (d) The report shall be in writing in the form prescribed by the Texas Department of Transportation. Sec. 18-331. Minimum Change Interval.
