In what should be good news to most drivers in areas where speed cameras exist, an Arizona county has decided to stop using the devices saying they “failed miserably.”<\/p>\n
Saying the fines issued using the cameras only resulted in a “paltry” profit and citing a 16 percent increase in accidents during the use of the cameras, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said the county was shelving the program even before the contract is up next month.<\/p>\n
“I’m against photo speed enforcement completely,” Babeu told Pinal County supervisors this week according to the Arizona Republic.<\/p>\n
The paper says that the county’s contract with the company that operates the cameras does not expire until February 20th, but the vans that hold the cameras have not been used since Babeu took office on January 1st.<\/p>\n
But for Arizona drivers who hate seeing cameras on the road, the joy in the speed cameras’ failure might be short lived. The Arizona Republic says the sheriff is looking into the possibility of installing red-light cameras in the county.<\/p>\n
