| The Arlington City Council approved a contract with American Traffic Solutions on Jan. 9 to place red light cameras at the 63 intersections with the highest numbers of red light violators.In the last five years, more than 1,500 people have been injured due to someone running a red light in Arlington according to Steve Evans, Arlington Police Department management services director.
“We hope for a 25 percent reduction,” Evans said. The department hopes to have 10 cameras up at intersections in the next 60 days, starting with the intersections owned by the city. The construction at intersections owned by the state will be delayed until action is approved by the Texas Department of Transportation. … The first three intersections to undergo camera construction are Matlock Road and Arbrook Boulevard, South Green Oaks Boulevard and Collins Street, and South Green Oaks Boulevard and Matlock Road, all owned by the city of Arlington. |
