On a recent drive through the intersection of Roosevelt and State, we noticed that the red light cameras appear to be gone. Is this permanent or temporary, we don't know. We've read that revenue from these red light tickets are drying up in the suburbs and as a result is causing some places to reconsider.They've always been controversial and if you live in the neighborhood, you've probably been hit by one of these tickets before (we have!).
As far as we can tell, the camera at the Canal and Roosevelt intersection is still up and running, but we will keep our eyes open to see what transpires there.
(Hat tip: ND...or is it S?)
Does it ever occur to the writers of this blog that a simple phone call to the police station or some other office to answer the question you posed?
ReplyDeleteThe City has a certain number of red light cameras and they move them around to different intersections from time to time based on traffic/crash data.

ReplyDelete. MAKE THE LIGHT TURN GREEN WHEN THE MOTORIST IS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ALL ALONE FOR NO REASON INSTEAD OF TICKETS FOR NOT SITTING AT A RED WASTING TIME AND FUEL.http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/2011/02/red-light_camera_debate_websites.phphttp://blogs.pitch.com/plog/2011/02/red-light_camera_debate_websites.php
