Fresno Tests Red-Light Cameras for Safety
Description
Fresno’s city council just approved a pilot program to bring back red-light cameras—aimed at slashing deadly crashes and protecting pedestrians. With over 800 traffic fatalities and injuries since 2019, officials are turning to automated enforcement under new state law, which ensures no license points or suspensions and directs all fines toward road safety improvements. Advocates like Joe Martinez, whose son died in a crash, say the tech saves lives—backed by residents who’ve seen dangerous driving firsthand. Cameras will scan license plates, not faces, and exact details like locations and fines are still being worked out. Don’t expect instant results—this rollout will take months.
