Are there other solutions (engineering, education) which are practical and readily available?
As discussed above there are many factors to be considered in installing a red-light camera system. To summarize the steps: • Review the laws regulating photo-enforcement • Determine the need using the warrants listed above. • Solicit community support for photo-enforcement • Select a camera vendor and/or systems integration company • Select probable locations • Evaluate these location using a device such as the Mitron Traffic Counter • Engineer the locations: • Select number of lanes to be covered. Generally three lanes going in the same direction is the maximum for film based system and one to two lanes for CCD. • Select the number of cameras. • Select placement of each camera. • Select film type and speed • Select lens • Select appropriate filters • Determine number and location of flash units • Determine location of loops • Obtain engineering drawing of proposed installation • Construct site • Test system • . Have as built drawings completed. While installing red-light cameras is s
