1679 Gatso USA has been selected by the City of Albany to install red light cameras at 20 of the city’s busiest intersections.

The program will include 64 cameras across the 20 intersections. There is an expected two-month ramp-up period with a target start date for the initial units of 1 July. Along with public education materials and photo enforcement signage, drivers will have a ten-day warning period once the cameras are operational before the city starts mailing out actual notices of violation. Each violation will be treated in the same manner as a parking ticket and will carry a fine of US$50 which will be issued in the name of the vehicle owner and not the driver.

According to Andrew Noble, president of Gatso USA, “The stakeholders involved in the selection process for the City of Albany had a clear resolve to make their roads safer for their citizens, visitors and businesses.” He continues, “Our team is committed to delivering superior technology while fostering an ongoing partnership between city officials, law enforcement and the public at large.”

Like others adopting high-occupancy and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for congestion management, Caltrans has faced challenges with compliance in what has been effectively an ‘honour system’ with drivers trusted to set their tags correctly or comply with the multi-passenger requirement.

    The technical programme of this year’s ITS World Congress in Vienna includes a special session on the image of enforcement. ITS International examines the scale of the problem and what can be done about it. Debate on the merits and difficulties of enforcing speed limits appears centred on a conflict of principles. Put very simply, local communities, people living close to busy or hazardous roads, want to see traffic speeds calmed. Drivers on those roads, on the whole, want their principle of freedom to be m
