No more will you get tickets at your house from turning at a red light too quickly. The City of Boca Raton has halted the use of its red light cameras within the city limits after legal challenges.
Since the start of the red light camera program in Boca Raton, the city saw a drop of 80% in violations during that time, with less than 10% of those drivers receiving a second violation.
With the shutdown of the red light cameras, the enforcement of the laws will be taken up by Boca Raton Police Department, whose citations will have higher fines and points charged against an offender’s license.
Boca Raton joins local governments such as Palm Beach County, Hallandale Beach, Margate and Coral Springs in backing away from using such cameras to crack down on red-light runners.
