RED Light Cameras ...timing is Everything

R1

The CHPD should routinely produce and analyze actual traffic incident data. This information should then be used to judge the effectiveness of the program. This will allow informed decisions such as whether the cameras are placed at intersections that yield the most desired effect.

R2

Citrus Heights Public Works should set the minimum timing for yellow lights at the minimum standard, in order to trigger the red flashing signal, indicating a problem with the timing.

R3

Citrus Heights should assign personnel to conduct an on-site physical timing of the yellow signal lights at each intersection where there is a red light camera. A written maintenance log should be kept.
