Note to editors: The new cameras are being placed at high risk sites where there has been a history of red-light related crashes, and are typically very busy intersections with high traffic flows. Those wishing to film, photograph or otherwise provide coverage of the new red light cameras must comply with the appropriate health and safety requirements and remain responsible for their own safety and hazard management at all times.
