New York A05262 amends traffic laws to mandate biannual inspections of traffic-control signals.

New York A05262 amends the vehicle and traffic law to require that all traffic-control signals be examined and certified as accurate every two years. The bill also specifies that traffic, except pedestrians, facing a steady circular yellow signal may enter the intersection but must be aware that the green movement is ending or a red indication will follow shortly. The bill further details the maintenance responsibilities and fees for traffic-control signals, ensuring that the state department of transportation has the authority to revoke permission for signal erection and removal.
