South Carolina bill H5600 allows local governments to use traffic-control photographic systems for civil enforcement of traffic violations.

South Carolina bill H5600 amends state law to authorize local governments to adopt ordinances for the civil enforcement of traffic violations using traffic-control photographic systems. These systems must capture images of vehicles entering an intersection against a red signal indication. Citations issued based on this photographic evidence must be mailed to the vehicle owner within one week. The bill also grants municipal courts jurisdiction over certain traffic-control monitoring system violations and modifies the definition of a steady yellow traffic signal.
