HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A legislative conference committee has approved an additional $2 million in funding for a program aimed at catching motorists who run red lights at intersections.
The program got the green light a year ago, but was stalled by the pandemic and a lack of funding.
âThe program entails installation of red light photo enforcement at 10 intersections in downtown Honolulu, and the idea there is to increase safety,â said state Department of Transportation spokeswoman, Shelly Kunishige.
