“Although some have complaints with regard to red light cameras, I do believe that many lives have been saved because of the added awareness of being fined for running those lights,” said Mayor Eric Jones. “Those who stop when the light is red won't be affected, only those who violate. It's cheaper to pay a fine than to pay for a funeral.”

Cameras will be installed at the following intersections in the City:

1. Westbound West Hallandale Beach Blvd. @ US 441 / State Road 7
2. Westbound County Line Road / SW 41 Street @ US 441 / State Road 7
3. Northbound US 441 / State Road 7 @ W. Hallandale Beach Blvd.
4. Northbound US 441 / State Road 7 @ Pembroke Road
5. Eastbound Pembroke Road @ SW 56 Avenue
6. Southbound SW 56 Avenue @ W. Hallandale Beach Blvd.

This year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found red-light safety cameras in 14 large U.S. cities saved 159 lives in a five-year period, and determined 815 more lives could have been saved if all 99 large cities had used these cameras.
