    7         316.0776 Traffic infraction detectors; placement and
    8  installation.—
    9         (1) Traffic infraction detectors are allowed on state roads
   10  when permitted by the Department of Transportation and under
   11  placement and installation specifications developed by the
   12  Department of Transportation. Traffic infraction detectors are
   13  allowed on streets and highways under the jurisdiction of
   14  counties or municipalities in accordance with placement and
   15  installation specifications developed by the Department of
   16  Transportation. A notice of violation or uniform traffic
   17  citation may not be issued through the use of a traffic
   18  infraction detector that is not in compliance with all
   19  specifications. Additionally, the department shall identify
   20  engineering countermeasures that are intended to reduce
   21  violations of ss. 316.074(1) and 316.075(1)(c)1. and which may
   22  be considered and applied, where appropriate, before the
   23  installation of a traffic infraction detector on any roadway.
   24  The decision to place a traffic infraction detector on any
   25  roadway must be based on the results of a traffic engineering
   26  study that documents the implementation and failure of any
   27  engineering countermeasure appropriate for the specific
   28  location. The study must be signed and sealed by a professional
   29  engineer licensed in this state.
