Peoria Activates Red-Light Cameras

Peoria Activates Red-light Cameras

PEORIA, AZ - The Police Department kicked off two programs last week to help deter red-light running.

The city activated red-light cameras at two intersections, 83rd Avenue and Union Hills Drive, and 91st Avenue and Bell Road. Cameras also will be activated at 83rd Avenue and Thunderbird Road and 91st and Olive avenues, after construction on both roadways is completed, said Mike Tellef, police spokesman.

Drivers will have a trial period of approximately 30 days once the lights are activated, in which warnings will be mailed to offenders. After the 30-day period, $214 citations will be issued, Tellef said.

In the second program, funded by a $20,000 grant from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, motorcycle officers will target major intersections that don't have red-light cameras, Tellef said. That program ends Sept. 30.
