01
What does SB 84 make possible?
For the first time, Virginia localities can take advantage of technology that automatically detects stop sign violations and failure to yield at crosswalks — the two behaviors most responsible for pedestrian injuries and deaths. This means safer school routes and less burden on an already stretched police force. SB 84 takes effect July 1, 2026.
02
Why does it matter?
Pedestrian crashes in Virginia are up 43% since 2020. Nearly half of all pedestrian incidents happen at or near intersections — in school crossing zones, on the walk to class, during morning drop-off. For years, the challenge wasn't lack of concern. It was a lack of tools. SB 84 changes that.

Additional FAQs
Q1. Will this affect drivers' insurance or put points on their license?
No. All citations issued under SB 84 are civil penalties only. They have no effect on a driver's record and cannot be used by insurance companies.
Q2. What happens when a new camera goes live?
The first 30 days are warnings only. No citations are issued during this period. The program is designed to change behavior first, not generate revenue.
Q3. Is this just a way for vendors to profit from violations?
No. Virginia law explicitly prohibits pay-per-ticket arrangements. Vendors like Obvio are compensated based on the value of services provided, not the number of violations issued or fines collected.
Q4. What happens to the footage if no violation occurs?
All camera data is automatically and unrecoverably deleted within 21 days of capture unless a citation has been issued. It cannot be sold, shared, or used for any purpose other than enforcing the three violation types authorized under SB 84.
Q5. Where does fine revenue go?
Revenue first covers the operating costs of the program. Any surplus is directed into a local traffic safety fund, with priority given to school zones, work zones, and high-risk intersections.
Q6. How is resident privacy protected?
SB 84 was written with strict privacy guardrails. Camera data cannot be used for surveillance, sold, shared with outside parties, or used for any purpose unrelated to the specific violation being enforced. Vendors are required to certify compliance annually and are subject to audit by state commissioners.
