Drivers, beware: Motorists running the red light at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Eakins Oval in Philadelphia will start receiving tickets this week.<\/p>\n
Starting Thursday at 12 a.m., drivers captured on camera running the light will get a $100 fine in the mail, the Philadelphia Parking Authority said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The city’s red light camera program has 146 cameras at 34 locations, according to the PPA. In 2024, the program provided $23,038,615 to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Transportation Enhancements Grant Program, with about half of that going toward safety improvements in the Philly area, the PPA said.<\/p>\n
A full list of red light cameras in Philadelphia<\/a> is available online. The camera program has reduced red light running at key intersections by 58% on average and is a key tool for improving safety, the PPA said in the announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n A warning period was in place over the past 60 days for the light on Kelly Drive. A warning period for the traffic light camera at 58th Street and Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia began Nov. 29 and is set to end Jan. 28.<\/p>\n Research<\/a> indicates camera programs can reduce red light running and crashes, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Highway Loss Data Institute.<\/p>\n The city also uses cameras<\/a> on Broad Street and Roosevelt Boulevard<\/a> to fine drivers who speed.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drivers, beware: Motorists running the red light at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Eakins Oval in Philadelphia…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":500123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,1448,2830,1311,131184,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-500122","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-pa","10":"tag-pennsylvania","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-red-light-cameras","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115856671588424020","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
