Red-Light Cam Bill Dies

A perennial effort to let cities like New Haven start catching red-light runners with traffic cameras has again died at the state legislature.

The idea has been supported for years by New Haven legislators and safe streets activists, and gained the support of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last year. This year’s bill would have given municipalities with populations of more than 48,000 people the option of installing the cameras to photograph the license plates of vehicles running red lights, then issue traffic tickets. The proposal faced opposition by the NAACP and ACLU.

The Transportation Committee will hit its deadline for legislative action Wednesday and the bill will not move forward.
