| 12 | the intersection. The department, a county, or a municipality |
| 13 | shall be responsible for the cost of the study. A traffic |
| 14 | infraction detector shall not be installed until the Department |

| 18 | shall evaluate the safety of an intersection within a six-month |
| 19 | period. A safety hazard exists if, at the end of the study |

| 21 | statistically disproportionate number of motor vehicle crashes |
| 22 | at the intersection, greater than that of similarly situated |
| 23 | intersections in the county or municipality. |
| 24 | (7) Notwithstanding subsection (1), the department, a |
| 25 | county, or a municipality shall not use a traffic infraction |
| 26 | detector to issue violations committed by a motor vehicle making |
