1/4/07-Whether to allow automated cameras to be posted at intersections in Hawaii is expected to draw discussion during the legislative session that begins Jan. 17.
House Transportation Committee Chairman Rep. Joe Souki, D-Maui, said he will introduce a bill to authorize photo enforcement at traffic signals where there are many fatalities.
The cameras would snap pictures of red-light runners' or speeders' vehicles and license plates, as well as their faces. A ticket would be mailed to the vehicles' owners.
