KOAT-TV 7 - ALBUQUERQUE -- The city of Albuquerque has decided to suspend its red light traffic camera program based on the results of an eight-month University of New Mexico study of the program's effectiveness. "We believe the red light camera program is in need of a major overhaul," said Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry. Every red light camera will be turned off at midnight Tuesday until the city council votes to extend its contract with Redflex
or accepts a bid from another company. When that happens, only 14 of the 20 cameras will be turned back on, because not every red light camera is making the city safer. The UNM study shows six cameras are in fact causing more problems. Albuquerque's Chief Public Safety Officer Darren White said the dilemma arises when drivers approach those intersections and realize they may be going too fast, then hit the brakes or speed up, causing rear-end crashes.
