Tampa to Install Cameras at Dangerous Intersections

Posted on Jan 21, 2010

The City of Tampa is soliciting bids for the installation and operation of red-light cameras at ten high-accident intersections.  Installation should be complete in 1-2 months.  Other cameras have already been installed in Port Richey, Lakeland, and Temple Terrace.  Temple Terrace has made over $1.4 million in fines since October 2008 when its cameras were installed.  Hillsborough County anticipates making approximately $2.4 million a year. 

Arguments in favor of the cameras include the notable decline in fatal "T-bone" crashes, which resulted in 10% of Tampa's fatal accidents last year.  The cameras provide compelling evidence of traffic violations, holding vehicle owners (not necessarily the drivers) accountable because notices are sent to the vehicle owner's address.  Of course, the cameras also provide the county with substantial revenue.
