STACY SQUIRES/STUFF
Police can run red lights when heading to emergencies but why do so many Christchurch drivers think they can do the same? (Video first published in January 2019)
Three red light cameras will be switched on later this year to catch motorists illegally running through intersections in Christchurch. A red light camera was installed at the intersection of Bealey Ave and Madras St in 2018, but it had only been used to collect data and no infringements had been issued from it. By contrast, Auckland had 20 cameras by February last year, with more to be added. Christchurch once had cameras at 10 intersections, which were used in the late 1980s and 1990s.
