So where are we with Albany’s plan to step up traffic enforcement with cameras at four intersections in town? Getting closer, but not there yet.
It was in December 2023 that the Albany City Council voted to equip four intersections with cameras to catch speeders and red-light runners. The cameras may soon be installed, and then we’ll see if they yield the anticipated result.
There is good news for Albany drivers worried about the photo radar or speed cameras that will be installed soon at two intersections, including one on North Albany Road.
Two members of the Albany City Council seem to have second thoughts about the new speed and red-light cameras the city intends to have installed.
According to the Albany Police Department’s speed trailer, North Albany Road near Quarry Road was a sometime speedway during the last week of July 2023.
What do you think the Albany city government makes off the two cameras that catch red-light runners at Queen Avenue and Geary Street? Go ahead, take a guess.
Waiting for new traffic cameras to go live
New speed and red-light cameras have been installed at Queen Avenue and Geary Street in Albany. I don’t know whether the cameras have gone live yet. And I’m not about to test it by risking a ticket.
