Now that drivers are
more aware of intersections with red light cameras, Suffolk County is seeing a
drop in ticket
revenue. In 2012, they reported a 24
percent drop in red-light tickets and a 10 percent drop in auto injuries at
those intersections. Suffolk and Nassau
are looking for state approval to expand electronic traffic ticketing.
The annual Red Light
Safety Program report provides both supporters and opponents of the cameras
with information on the effectiveness of the system. Complaints include tickets for minor
infractions, such as slow-rolling right turns on red. However, the cameras have brought in a
significant revenue increase for both counties, which are struggling with tight
budgets this year. While some say the
cameras were installed solely to bring in revenue, others say that they have
already cut down on the number of serious automobile accidents.
Suffolk and Nassau
Counties want to add speed cameras to each of the 125 Long Island public school
districts. Fines for violating these
speeding zones would be $50 per ticket, plus a $30 administrative fee. However, drivers do not receive points on
their license.
