Arizona's photo radar will stay put after Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would've removed all traffic enforcement cameras from city streets.
Arizona's photo radar cameras will stay put after Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill on May 26 that would have removed all traffic enforcement cameras from city streets.
Senate Bill 1234 was sponsored by Senator Wendy Rogers of Flagstaff, who called the cameras a violation of privacy."I've heard from local leaders and the law enforcement officers across the state about the impact this bill will have on the safety of Arizonans. Research indicates that photo radar cameras demonstrate effectiveness in changing driver behavior and decreasing fatal accidents, especially in vulnerable areas like school zones.
I look forward to continuing the work with the Arizona legislature, law enforcement, and local municipalities to solve traffic issues and enhance public safety."SB 1234 would have prohibited local authorities from using photo radar to identify traffic violators, speeding drivers and anyone failing to obey a traffic control device, like running a red light.
