WSDOT Not Endorsing Red Light Cameras For Safety (But They're Also Not NOT Endorsing Them)
On my favorite subject (just because it always seems to spur conversation), the Washington State Department of Transportation says there simply isn't enough data at this point to say red light cameras increase safety.
The state has primary responsibility for traffic signals on state highways that run through cities with fewer than 25,000 people. Cities of that size need state approval to install enforcement cameras along highways.
The Bellingham Herald has more.
