Northeast Region Traffic Camera Limitation Act

Whereas, The Northeast Region considers the use of traffic cameras to be an unwelcome intrusion and a violation of Northeasterners' right to privacy, and;

Whereas, The Northeast Region finds that some municipalities use traffic cameras in a manner that decreases public safety, such as intentionally shortening the length of yellow lights, and;
