RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT: PA considers allowing red-light cameras to run past 2017

By Andrew Staub | PA Independent

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Red-light cameras that keep a watchful eye on Pennsylvania drivers in select municipalities are scheduled to power down in 2017, but some state lawmakers aren’t ready to put the program in park.

The House Transportation Committee this week signaled its support to eliminate the sunset provision that would end the camera programs about two years from now. James Sikorski Jr., a Luzerne County resident who has kept tabs on the red-light camera program, wasn’t happy about that development.
