Red Light Cameras Coming Back, This Time Across New York State

New York State is getting new red light cameras. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a measure to expand red light camera programs across the state, aiming to increase road safety. You may recall, Rochester had red light cameras but removed them over community complaints they were disproportionately placed in poor neighborhoods. The new legislation addresses penalties for passing stopped school buses and seat belt usage on charter buses for children. Back in 2017, the City of Rochester ended the red light camera program because offenders could no longer afford to pay the fines and its minimal impact on improving safety.
