A local authority shall not operate a mobile automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement unless permanent signs meeting the requirements as specified in the department manual on uniform traffic-control devices and giving notice of the local authority’s use of a mobile system within the boundaries of the local authority are posted at every location where a highway enters the boundaries of the local authority. c. Signs required under this subsection shall be erected by the local authority at the local authority’s expense at least thirty days prior to a system enforcing any detected violations. 2. A local authority using a system shall submit to the department an annual report by March 1 of each year detailing the number of traffic collisions and accidents that occurred at each location where a system is in use, the number of citations issued for each system during the previous calendar year, and any other relevant information about the systems that the local authority deems appropriate. The local authority shall post the report on the local authority’s internet site, if the local authority has an internet site.
