RALEIGH, N.C. — Raleigh is putting a stop to its red light camera program.
Charlotte, Greenville and Cary are some of the other municipalities across our state where the program has also shut down.
City officials say instead of staff members processing violations, they can now focus on strategies to make streets safer.
“We feel like the amount of time focused on those 27 intersections kind of feels a little inequitable, and now, we can focus on many other intersections that have similar red light running issues,” said Sean Driskill, Vision Zero Program director for the city of Raleigh.
City officials say it issued 30,000 red light camera violations per year.
