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.
In the two years they’ve been up, police say there were 11
serious crashes and 35 fender benders… http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/07/11/westminster-deactivating-most-red-light-cameras-on-concerns-theyre-causing-accidents/
