South Carolina Speed Safety Act

Summary

The bill authorizes certain local law‑enforcement or municipal agencies to use lidar‑based speed‑monitoring devices that record images of vehicles traveling more than five miles per hour over the posted limit in school or construction zones. Vehicle owners or drivers captured by the system can be mailed a citation with a civil penalty of up to $200, even if no police officer issued a ticket. The measure also sets rules for signage, public notice, operator training, and equipment calibration.
