Red Light Camera Communities
How are communities combating the dangers of red light running? In addition to traffic laws and outreach, some communities utilize red light cameras. Red light cameras are a form of automated enforcement. An automated enforcement system uses an electronic camera to enforce traffic laws by doing the following:
- Assisting with detection of infractions
- Providing photo/video documentation of the vehicle or driver violating the traffic law
At least 340 communities across the nation operate red light camera programs. There are no red light camera communities in Nevada. This is because Nevada law currently prohibits the use of red light cameras. How can Nevadans combat the dangers of red light running without cameras? Read on as we discuss tips to avoid the dangers of running a red light.
