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.
There was no debate and no disagreement on the Albany City Council Wednesday as members unanimously voted for new traffic cameras likely to yield a massive increase in revenue from fines.
