More red light cameras are online at National and Sunshine to issue tickets starting tomorrow (Friday February 22nd.) The cameras have been operating since January and sending off warnings to drivers but tomorrow the money starts to roll into the city.
This is red-light camera number four. The first three are southbound National at Battlefield, southbound Campbell at Battlefield and eastbound Battlefield at Campbell.
If you don’t know what sets off the camera, it’s basically having your car cross the big white line at the intersection after the signal has turned red. So if you’re zipping along and cross the line when it’s yellow you’re going to be fine. (Not that drivers in Springfield speed up when they see yellow…)
If you get busted, the fine’s $100 but there’s no points on your record.
“but tomorrow the money starts to roll into the city”.
Perhaps if this is the case we could use the revenue from this “experiment” to fund the UNDER FUNDED pension plan.
