In the Tennessee Valley, only two cities have adopted photo enforcement of speed limits and red-light laws – Chattanooga and Red Bank.
Chattanooga has 12 sets of speed cameras while three are spread through Red Bank’s main thoroughfare, Dayton Boulevard.
Neither police nor traffic engineers will reveal how fast drivers must go to make the cameras flash, but officials warn against pedal-to-the-metal style when “photo enforcement ahead” signs come into view.
Twenty-four hours a day, the cameras record digital images and license plate numbers of violating vehicles at intersections.
