WJZ-TV Channel 13 Baltimore MD: Westminster Deactivating Most Red Light Cameras On Concerns They’re Causing Accidents





WESTMINSTER, Md. (WJZ)– Westminster is putting a stop to most of their red light cameras. Police say they may have been causing more accidents than they were preventing.

Andrea Fujii has the story.

After more than two years, the red light cameras at Route 97 and Route 140 in Westminster have been turned off. The City Council voted Monday to deactivate them.

“These cameras were not in a break-even mode. They were literally costing the city taxpayers money,” Chief Jeff Spaulding of the Westminster Police Department said.

They were meant to make the intersection safer and generate revenue, but police say they did neither.
