Elk Grove Drivers Beware - Another Red Light Camera Coming to an Intersection Near You

County trying to cash in on Elk Grove, College drivers?

The Sacramento Metropolitan Red Light Photo Enforcement Detail has placed a new digital red light photo enforcement camera system on Calvine Road at the Northbound Highway 99 off-ramp, in the County of Sacramento. The new system is currently being tested and is scheduled to go live on Tuesday, May 1, at 12:01 a.m.

For a period of thirty days, red light violators will be mailed a warning notice. On May 31, 2012 at 12:01 a.m., red light violators at this intersection will begin to receive citations by mail.

When a citation is issued and received by the violator, it will include a referral to a website where the violator can view the still and/or video images of the violation. The violator should be able to clearly see where their vehicle was in relation to the intersection’s limit line, and the green, yellow and red lights.

Increased traffic safety is the number one priority of the Sacramento Metropolitan Red Light Photo Enforcement Program. There has been up to a 76% reduction in red-light related crashes at photo-enforced intersections in the city and county since the implementation of the program. Furthermore, there has been a 28% reduction in red-light related crashes at all signal-controlled intersections within the city and county of Sacramento.
