A Connecticut legislature wants to proactively address concerns about the use of red light cameras. The bill, sponsored by House Roads and Transportation President Jim Pressel, R-Rolling Prairie, provides for vehicle owners to receive $75 in fines in the mail if they exceed the specified speed of at least 12 miles per hour. The devices would be used when workers are present. Currently, there are no municipalities in the state that use red lights or speed cameras. The proposed pilot programs would use cameras instead of humans to catch speeding and send tickets to their license plate address. The first violation of this program is a warning, and the second and third offenses range from $75 to $150 on both tickets. Senator Bob Morris, R-Fort Wayne, questioned the value of downgrading speeding penalties in a work area. Pressel said the goal was education – so that hoosiers can get used to the technology. The bills would require both an information campaign prior to the pilot and signs in front of the work area. Sponsored by Rep. Kara Rochelle, D-Ansonia, the bill would ban the use of red light cameras in the state. The bill does not deal with speed cameras.
“Greater application of speed in work areas has the potential to significantly reduce the frequency of motorists and fatal accidents in the workplace, while forming better overall driver behavior,” wrote Rep. William Magnarelli, D-Syracuse, in a justification for the change. The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency reported that eight cities in the state operate or have operated a total of 78 speed camera and red light devices. It is estimated that cities generated $12 million in revenue from the devices over a one-year period.

Please contact your hometown if you have any questions about tickets, fines or unpaid violations. Drivers often confuse traffic cameras with red light cameras. Traffic cameras do not issue tickets and are usually located at the top of traffic lights. Red light cameras are located on the side or corner of the intersection. Drivers often confuse traffic cameras located on the traffic pole. These cameras only monitor the flow of traffic and do not issue photo tickets.

The lawsuit, underway at the Rhode Island Statehouse, would allow the expansion of the state`s radar program. More than 500 communities across the country use red lights and/or speed cameras to catch drivers who flout traffic rules, reports the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Signs would also be placed in front of the affected area to warn drivers of the automated cameras. The House Roads and Transportation Committee voted unanimously on Feb. 8 to introduce a bill authorizing Indiana State Police to install cameras in traffic areas to enforce speeds. Legislation allowing speed cameras for roadwork zones cleared a major hurdle on Tuesday — the Senate approved the measure after rejecting it for years. In Wyoming, a bill would allow the use of ticket cameras to enforce several traffic violations.
Included offences include speed limits, height and weight limits. Three bills at the Indiana Statehouse cover the use of ticket cameras along certain stretches of road throughout the state. Starting in 2021: Automated speeding tickets won`t progress Another bill, HB967, would allow two cameras to be mounted on Interstate 83 in Baltimore. SF3 is sponsored by the Joint Interim Committee on Transportation, Roads and Military Affairs and includes the requirement that signs be placed to inform travellers of the use of ticketing cameras. Indiana lawmakers said the money from their pilot program would not go into the general state fund, as the work zone money currently does, but for the implementation of the program itself. Additional funds would go to the fund for fallen state soldiers or state police recruitment, training, increased patrols in work areas and the hiring of radars under the House bill, according to the Senate bill.
