Laguna Niguel, California dumps red light cameras after judge accused the city of perjury.
Laguna Woods signThe photo enforcement industry is in free fall in California. Once there were more than one hundred municipalities allowing private companies to issue red light camera tickets in the state, but now there are just 43 operational programs left after the city of Laguna Woods decided last week to allow the photo ticketing contract with the troubled Australian vendor Redflex Traffic Systems to expire on June 30, bringing the red light camera casualty list to 62 cities.
Since 2005, the Laguna Woods program has issued an average of 2919 citations per year, worth $1.4 million. According to the city, there was no demonstrable safety benefit.
