2 Del. Admin. Code § 1207-1.0
The purpose of these regulations is to provide for the establishment and administration of an Electronic Speed Monitoring System (ESMS) program along qualifying roadways across the State of Delaware. The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), the governing body of New Castle County, or any municipality within the State may install and operate an ESMS and assess fines in accordance with 21 Del.C. § 4170A. The ESMS program is established in support of DelDOT's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and, in particular, its Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), which has identified speeding as an emphasis area to target the overall program goal of reducing fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The ESMS shall be installed and used to record images of a motor vehicle traveling in a work zone, or in a residence district in either New Castle County or a municipality. Work zones and residence districts were selected for implementation in part due to the presence of vulnerable road users (e.g., highway workers and other people walking or biking) which account for a growing share of roadway fatalities. To install and use ESMS, a municipality or New Castle County must pass an ordinance enabling the program. The municipality or New Castle County must also approve the road and extent of the road eligible for electronic speed monitoring. These regulations are being promulgated in accordance with 21 Del.C. § 4170A(c), 21 Del.C. § 4105, and 84 Del. Laws, c. 74, §1.
