The City of Pittsburgh has taken another step to make streets safe by approving plans to install automated red light enforcement cameras.

An incident that happens far too often involves pedestrians or people riding bikes who get caught in a crosswalk while a driver zooms through a red light.

New legislation approved by Pittsburgh City Council will provide red light camera enforcement.

Councilperson Erika Strassburger is behind the legislation that will now allow for cameras and sensors to be at high-risk intersections.

The automated system will snap a photo when a vehicle runs the red light with no police officers needed to be on site.
