Isn conventional enforcement enough? Will the cameras replace officers?
Traditional traffic law enforcement is intensive and high-risk. When officers observe a violation, it is not always possible to safely stop the violator because the officer may have to speed or run a red light to do so. This can endanger motorists and pedestrians as well as police officers, and traffic stops in high-traffic areas can increase congestion. It’s also impossible for police departments to monitor the roadways on a round-the-clock basis. Automated traffic enforcement programs are designed to identify violators and lessen the need for the presence of police officers on the roadside. Conventional law enforcement will not go away with the use of automated traffic enforcement.
