SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – There are 73 red light cameras in New Jersey and come next month, none of them will be used.
“The law that established the red light camera program called for a five-year pilot program,” Department of Transportation Spokesman Steve Shapiro told WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell.
Supporters feel drivers are less likely to run red lights if there is a camera.
In August, a state judiciary spokeswoman announced one of the operators of red light cameras in New Jersey, American Traffic Solutions, was having computer issues between May 28 and June 30.
