Red Bank, Tenn., is doing fine without traffic cameras

Vehicles line up at the intersection of Dayton Boulevard and Signal Mountain Road.

Four months after Red Bank’s traffic cameras were removed, city officials say they aren’t missed.

Accident rates have remained steady, fewer tickets have been issued and, while no official numbers are in, preliminary reports indicate traffic counts are on the rise. That’s something businesses were hoping would happen.

“We’ve seen a little bit of [traffic] increase on Dayton Boulevard,” Red Bank Mayor John Roberts said.

People continue to tell him they’re happy the cameras are gone, he added.
