5/4/05-An effort to green light South Carolina’s largest cities to install cameras at traffic lights to catch those running red lights is likely dead.
The bill failed to meet a May 1 deadline to pass the House. Now it will take a two-thirds vote in favor to restart the bill.
H3992 would apply to cities with a population of 20,000 or more.
The cameras snap pictures of red-light runners or speeders. A ticket is mailed to the vehicle owner after authorities review photos.
The bill would fine violators up to $100. No points would be added to offenders’ licenses and their insurance companies would not be notified.
