Coming in 2013
Red light cameras will be coming to Jacksonville, Florida in January of 2013. Redflex is the red light camera operator who will send the car’s registered owner a citation for $158. If that’s not paid within 30 days, the Sheriff’s Office will issue a follow-up ticket costing $262.
The city’s 2013 budget projects $1.5 million in revenue from the cameras. Redflex Traffic Systems, a company hired by the Sheriff’s Office to install cameras, has been given a list of 25 dangerous approaches to 17 intersections and told to start with the five worst.
Redflex ill forward footage from each approach to the Sheriff’s Office, where an officer will review images from six seconds before and after each violation occurs.
Under Florida state law, violators can be fined $158, with the town collecting $75 and $70 going to the state.
