4/8/10-A bill has died that sought to place traffic cameras in work zones on interstate and primary highways.
Sponsored by Rep. Wesley Whitehead, D-Sioux City, HF2053 would have charged state public safety and transportation officials with the task of outfitting the stretches of roadway with the traffic enforcement devices, as well as warning signs to deter speeders.
The automated cameras snap pictures of vehicles traveling over the posted speed limit. A ticket is mailed to the vehicles’ owners, regardless of who was driving at the time.
Currently, there is no law in Iowa regulating photo enforcement. However, there are several communities that have local ordinances permitting red-light cameras.
