BILL TO RESTRICT TRAFFIC CAMERAS ADVANCES

A SUBCOMMITTEE IN THE IOWA HOUSE HAS ADVANCED A BILL THAT WOULD RESTRICT THE USE OF TRAFFIC CAMERAS IN CITIES.

THE MEASURE FROM REPUBLICAN WALT ROGERS OF CEDAR FALLS PROHIBITS THE CAMERAS FROM BEING USED ON INTERSTATES AND STATE HIGHWAYS AND ALSO PROHIBITS THE CAMERAS FROM BEING MOVED TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

MAYOR BOB SCOTT SAYS THE BILL WILL CREATE MORE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION ZONES:



SCOTT SAYS THE CAMERAS WOULDN'T LIKELY QUALIFY FOR SOUTH LAKEPORT UNDER THE PROPOSED BILL.

THE MAYOR WONDERS IF THE STATE IS MOVING TOWARDS PUTTING THEIR OWN CAMERAS OUT ON THE INTERSTATES:

SCOTT SAYS HE'LL LIKELY VOTE TO REMOVE ALL THE TRAFFIC CAMERAS IF THE BILL PASSES IN THE LEGISLATURE.
