sec.209 Operating and testing analogue redlight camera systems

If an analogue redlight camera system is used to provide evidence of a prescribed offence, the following provisions must be complied with— the system’s camera must be aimed so that an image made by the system shows— the rear of a vehicle that is driven past the stop line for a traffic light or, if there is no stop line, the traffic light; and the stop line (if any) and the traffic light showing a red symbol; the system’s induction loop must be installed in, on or under the road surface on either side of the stop line or traffic light; the camera, the induction loop and traffic light must be linked so that— after the traffic light changes to red and a programmed delay has elapsed, a vehicle passing over the induction loop activates the camera; and the activated camera captures at least 2 images of the vehicle, stop line (if any) and traffic light; and the camera is not activated unless the traffic light shows a red symbol; each person who inserts into or removes a film magazine from the camera, or relocates the camera with a film magazine in place, must— ensure that the camera is correctly positioned and aimed; and use the system’s testing mode (but by reference to green light cycles) to ensure that the camera and induction loop operate correctly as referred to in paragraph (c) ; and if a fault is indicated, take corrective action and repeat the testing process until no fault is indicated by the system in its testing mode; if the tests or the film when developed indicate a fault has affected the proper operation of the system as required under this section, the film must be rejected for evidentiary purposes. s 209 ins reg pubd gaz 8 December 1990 pp 1663–7 amd reg pubd gaz 29 June 1991 pp 1285–305; 1993 SL No. 294 s 6 ; 1994 SL No. 232 s 39 ; 1996 SL No. 230 s 3 sch; 1997 SL No. 99 s 40 ; 2010 SL No. 41 s 5 ; 2021 SL No. 102 s 26 sch 1

• (a) the system’s camera must be aimed so that an image made by the system shows— (i) the rear of a vehicle that is driven past the stop line for a traffic light or, if there is no stop line, the traffic light; and (ii) the stop line (if any) and the traffic light showing a red symbol;
• (i) the rear of a vehicle that is driven past the stop line for a traffic light or, if there is no stop line, the traffic light; and
• (ii) the stop line (if any) and the traffic light showing a red symbol;
• (b) the system’s induction loop must be installed in, on or under the road surface on either side of the stop line or traffic light;
• (c) the camera, the induction loop and traffic light must be linked so that— (i) after the traffic light changes to red and a programmed delay has elapsed, a vehicle passing over the induction loop activates the camera; and (ii) the activated camera captures at least 2 images of the vehicle, stop line (if any) and traffic light; and (iii) the camera is not activated unless the traffic light shows a red symbol;
