New enforcement locations for red light photo enforcement will be reviewed with the City of Auburn traffic engineers based on collision data. If the data supports a public safety concern, the intersection will then be surveyed by RedFlex to determine if the intersection will support installation of cameras. New school zones will also be surveyed by RedFlex. Evaluation continues on other projects are on hold as the redesign of some intersections may drop violations to a level that may not be cost effective for RedFlex.
