Watch out, Austin drivers – Downtown may soon become a Red Light District. Austin’s red light camera pilot program has ended, and the Austin City Council will soon approve funding for additional cameras to be installed around town.

From News8Austin:

In a memo to Austin city council members, Assistant City Manager Rudy Garza states that next week council members will get a chance to choose a vendor to install the cameras.

Although fines for running through an intersection have not been determined, many cities with the cameras impose a fine of $75-100 per offense.

Late Night Austin Real Estate's picture

When I was in school I used to work on 6th street. Catching the occasional is traffic runner I guess is ok. But I think it might be of more use on 6th. When fights broke out the police seemed to practice a “The kid that looks wierd probably started the fight. That drunk frat boy looks clean cut so he obviously didn’t”. Since I worked there and had a good vantage point I occassionally tried to give a statement to police. But if my statement contradicted the “slacker kid always starts the fight” it was pretty much ignored.
