Welcome to the red light camera controversy Tampa! City officials have decided to battle Tampa drivers who run red lights by installing the controversial red light cameras at 10 Tampa intersections according to TBO.com. If all goes according to plans, the red light cameras will be fining Tampa drivers by the end of 2010.
Hillsborough County recently installed cameras at 10 intersections as well. Those cameras began issuing fines for red light violators at the end of last year. The city of Tampa scrapped plans to install red light cameras in 1007 because, at the time, the city felt the cameras may cause more rear-end collisions and there were concerns about a private company issuing traffic citations. Well, what has changed? Budget shortfalls due to the economy seem to have made those concerns no longer a concern.
