Since the early 1990s, red light cameras have been used in the United States in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Within each state the cameras may only be permitted in certain areas.
For example, in New York State, the Vehicle and Traffic Law permits red light cameras only within cities with a population above 1 million. In Florida, a state law went into effect on July 1, 2010, which allows all municipalities in the state to use red light cameras on all state-owned right-of-ways and fine drivers who run red lights, with the aim of enforcing safe driving, according to then-Governor Charlie Crist. In addition to allowing the use of cameras, the law also standardizes driver fines. Major cities throughout the US that use red light cameras include Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Raleigh, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle,Toledo, OH and Washington, DC.
Some states have chosen to prohibit the use of red light cameras. These include Arkansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire and West Virginia. As of December 2010 Arkansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin have enacted various prohibitions on red light, speed or other photo enforcement camera uses. Restrictions or conditions exist in additional states; the New Mexico Department of Transportation, for example, has asserted the right to restrict or prohibit red light cameras. In states such as Wisconsin, the ban comes from decisions by the state supreme court declaring that type of device unconstitutional.
While red light cameras may not be prohibited in other regions, they may have some restrictions on their use. In some jurisdictions, the law says that the camera needs to obtain a photo of the driver's face in order for the citation issued for running the red light to be valid. This is the case in California, Arizona & Colorado where the red light cameras are set up to take a series of photographs, including one of the driver's face.
