Hundreds more red light cameras are coming to intersections all across New York City. Supporters say they'll keep the city's streets safe, while critics say they are simply a cash-grab.
Hundreds more red light cameras are coming to a New York City intersection near you.Lawmakers in Albany have given the green light to quadrupling the number of red light cameras at intersections across the city, which means that soon, 5 percent of the city's intersections will have them, up from just 1 percent currently."Since the introduction of the program 3 years ago, running through red lights has decreased by more than 70 percent," said State Senator Andrew Gounardes.
"Anything that's just a camera-based program is just a money grab, because at the end of the day, these camera violations don't lead to points on licenses, and points on licenses is what really leads to changes in behavior law," said City Councilmember David Carr.
