Drivers, beware: Motorists running the red light at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Eakins Oval in Philadelphia will start receiving tickets this week.<\/p>\n
Starting Thursday at 12 a.m., drivers captured on camera running the light will get a $100 fine in the mail, the Philadelphia Parking Authority said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The city’s red light camera program has 146 cameras at 34 locations, according to the PPA. In 2024, the program provided $23,038,615 to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Transportation Enhancements Grant Program, with about half of that going toward safety improvements in the Philly area, the PPA said.<\/p>\n
A full list of red light cameras in Philadelphia<\/a> is available online. The camera program has reduced red light running at key intersections by 58% on average and is a key tool for improving safety, the PPA said in the announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n A warning period was in place over the past 60 days for the light on Kelly Drive. A warning period for the traffic light camera at 58th Street and Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia began Nov. 29 and is set to end Jan. 28.<\/p>\n Research<\/a> indicates camera programs can reduce red light running and crashes, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Highway Loss Data Institute.<\/p>\n The city also uses cameras<\/a> on Broad Street and Roosevelt Boulevard<\/a> to fine drivers who speed.<\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drivers, beware: Motorists running the red light at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Eakins Oval in Philadelphia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,38048],"class_list":["post-80727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-red-light-cameras"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
