 4 sign or yield for a pedestrian as required by law. (a) Notwithstanding
 5 any other provision of law, any municipality is hereby authorized and
 6 empowered to adopt and amend a local law or ordinance establishing a

 9 eleven hundred seventy-two, section eleven hundred forty-two, or section

 11 municipality to install and operate stop sign and pedestrian crossing
 12 photo violation monitoring systems which may be stationary or mobile,

 21 provided that such municipality has made a reasonable effort to comply
 22 with the provisions of this paragraph.
 23 (c) In any such municipality which has adopted a local law or ordi-
