NEW RED LIGHT TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM In an effort to increase safety at our red light controlled inter- - -- sections, the Winter Springs City Commission authorized the installation of photo enforcement cameras at selected inter- sections throughout Winter Springs. Photo enforcement was established in 1987 in the state of Arizona and has increased safety at major intersections across the country. PHOTO At this time, the Winter Springs Police Department has one '~"~~~ operational red light camera located at SR 434 and Winding Hollow. It started receiving and recording red light infractions on March 25th with a 30-day grace period during which time only warnings were issued to the registered owner for violations. On April 25, 2009, by City resolution, citations began being issued to the registered owner for violations. The City is currently in the final stages of adding an additional camera that will be located at SR 434 and Vistawilla. Upon installation of this camera there will also be a 30-day warn- ing period prior to any citations being issued. For additional information on the program or other question please contact Captain Glenn Tolleson at 407-327-1000 ext. 453 or by e-mail at golleson@winterspringsfl.org. FAQ's and More on Page 6...

The proposed Amendments will then be forwarded to the Florida Department of Community Affairs.

RED LIGHT TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM FREQUENT QUESTIONS What is the City of Winter Springs Red Light Camera Enforcement Program? This is a traffic safety program in which the City of Winter Springs utilizes state-of-the-art digital cameras and viola- tion detection systems for the purpose of decreasing vio- lations of the traffic control regulations and reducing colli- sions. How do Red Light Cameras work? Each intersection is outfitted with ahigh-resolution high- speed digital camera. The cameras are activated by sen- sors which are located at the intersection. The cameras are activated when a vehicle is detected by the sensors after the light has turned red. The camera takes two digital pho- tos which document the violation. The program operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in all weather conditions. The system is only activated when a vehicle runs a red light. All intersections with red light cameras are clearly marked. The Winter Springs Police Department reviews every viola- tion before the citation is issued. Citations contain an image of a violating vehicle before it enters the intersection, while it is in the intersection, and the license plate of the vehicle. Why did 1 receive a Notice of Infraction? A Notice of Infraction for a Red Zone Infraction is issued when your vehicle fails to stop at a clearly marked stop line or at any other stopping point described in the ordinance when facing a steady circular red signal. In the absence of a right turn on red restriction, a vehicle may make a right turn on red, but only after making a complete stop, and as- suring that it is safe to proceed. What if the registered owner was not driving the vehicle at the time of the violation? The registered owner of a vehicle will be mailed the Notice of I nfraction. If your vehicle was stolen, sold prior to the date and time of the violation, or was otherwise not in your care, custody or control at the time of the violation or any of the other reasons listed on the Affidavit of Non-Responsibility, you may submit a sworn statement to that effect to rebut the presumption that you were driving the vehicle at the time of the violation. The registered owner may submit in- formation and supporting documentation to that effect by mailing an Affidavit that is downloadable from the link at the bottom of the notice. The Affidavit must be received by the due date of your Notice. If an owner furnishes satisfactory evidence pursuant to this paragraph, the Hearing Officer may terminate the prosecution of this Notice of Infraction issued to the owner, and if appropriate, issue a Notice of Infraction to the person identified in the evidence as the operator of the motor vehicle at the time of the violation. What is the amount of the fine? Is there a late fee? The fine amount is $125.00. Yes, there is a $25.00 fee for delinquent payments. An infraction detected through the use of an automated traffic safety camera is a non criminal offense. Like a parking ticket, an infraction detected by a traffic camera is NOT part of the violator's driving record. Therefore, a finding that the infraction was committed, ei- ther by payment or after a hearing, will not be reported to the Department of Licensing. However, failure to respond to a Notice of Infraction, failure to appear for a requested hearing, or failure to pay a penalty imposed after a hearing may result in an order being entered against you for an amount up to the maximum civil penalty, plus any adminis- trative costs.
