5/18/10-Gov. Jan Brewer has signed into law a bill that addresses the use of photo cameras throughout the state.
Intended to avoid communities shortening the length of their yellow times, it requires the duration of yellow lights to be at least three seconds.
Previously HB2338, the new law takes effect in late July.

5/3/10-Before adjourning for the year, Arizona lawmakers voted to approve legislation that addresses concern about “gotcha” tickets at intersections with red-light cameras. It now awaits Gov. Jan Brewer’s signature.
Intended to avoid communities shortening the length of their yellow times, HB2338 would require the duration of yellow lights to be at least three seconds.
A separate provision was removed from the final version of the bill that dealt with a one-second rule. It sought to limit tickets issued to those given only if the vehicle is photographed at least one second after the signal turns to a steady red.
