The city is just about to get approval to double the amount of red light cameras they have around the 5 burroughs from 50 to 100.
“This is going to save lives because it has become a very good deterrent to stop people from running red lights,” said state Sen. Frank Padavan (R-Queens), a prime sponsor of the measure.
Public safety is not the only beneficiary. City Hall estimates the move will yield $13 million a year in new revenue from the fines generated by the new cameras, according to Assemblyman Ivan Lafayette (D-Queens), who helped Padavan shepherd the bill through his chamber.
“As soon as you put a red-light camera in at an intersection, the number of collisions there will drop by 70% in a matter of months,” Lafayette said.
Say cheese.
