(B) No local authority shall use traffic law photo-monitoring | 20 |
devices to enforce any traffic law until after it has erected | 21 |
signs on every highway that is not a freeway that is part of the | 22 |
state
highway system and that enters that local authority. The | 23 |
signs
shall inform inbound traffic that the local authority | 24 |
utilizes
traffic law photo-monitoring devices to enforce traffic | 25 |
laws. The
signs shall be erected within the first three hundred | 26 |
feet of the
boundary of the local authority or, if the signs | 27 |
cannot be located within the first three hundred feet of the | 28 |
boundary of the local authority, as close to that distance as | 29 |
possible, and the local authority is
responsible for all costs | 30 |
associated with the erection,
maintenance, and replacement, if | 31 |
necessary, of the signs. All
signs erected under this division | 32 |
shall conform in size, color,
location, and content to standards | 33 |
contained in the manual adopted
by the department of | 34 |
transportation pursuant to section 4511.09 of
the Revised Code | 35 |
and shall remain in place for as long as the
local authority | 36 |
utilizes traffic law photo-monitoring devices to
enforce any | 37 |
traffic law. Any ticket, citation, or summons issued
by or on | 38 |
behalf of the local authority for any traffic law
violation based | 39 |
upon evidence gathered by a traffic law
photo-monitoring device | 40 |
before the signs have been erected is
invalid. | 41 |
(C) A local authority that uses traffic law photo-monitoring | 42 |
devices to enforce any traffic law at an intersection where | 43 |

different colored lights or colored lighted arrows shall conform | 45 |
the timing of the yellow lights and yellow arrows of those traffic | 46 |
control signals to the provisions of the manual adopted by the | 47 |
department of transportation under section 4511.09 of the Revised | 48 |
Code that are applicable to that type of intersection. | 49 |
