                           REDFLEX IN EFFECT     

Redlight photo enforcement is now in effect at two locations in Citrus Heights. Citrus Heights Red Light Photo Enforcement Program was implemented in May 2008 with the purpose of providing 24-hour automated intersection enforcement and increasing traffic safety by reducing accidents resulting from red-light-running violations. According to recent studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, red light camera programs can decrease red light violations up to 60%. Traffic accidents caused by red light running are among the most serious, often resulting in severe injuries and fatalities. The May implementation included the required 30 day warning period, with the citation issue date beginning on June 6, 2008.
