| 14 | shall be responsible for the cost of the study. A traffic |

| 19 | shall evaluate the safety of an intersection within a 6-month |
| 20 | period. A safety hazard exists if, at the end of the study |
| 21 | period, the Department of Transportation identifies a |
| 22 | statistically disproportionate number of motor vehicle crashes |
| 23 | at the intersection, greater than that of similarly situated |
| 24 | intersections in the county or municipality. |
| 25 | (7) Notwithstanding subsection (1), the department, a |
| 26 | county, or a municipality shall not use a traffic infraction |
| 27 | detector to issue citations for violations committed by a motor |
