Video cameras make their way to Fayetteville
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Guess what I just read? Peachtree City might get its first video camera.
Here are some excerpts from the story which appeared on The Citizen newspaper website this week: A proposed new traffic light for Ga. Highway 54 West will come with a video camera that can zoom in either direction with the feed going straight to the area Georgia Department of Transportation office in Thomaston.
I don’t believe Fayetteville has any video cameras posted on the traffic lights. But if I could have my vote where one would do some good…I’d say put a camera (make that two cameras) at the intersection of Ga. 54 and Ga. 85. That is one place where there are simply too many cars and not enough lanes.
And on top of that, people tend to run the light in both directions, so maybe knowing a video camera was keeping a watchful eye on them might deter some folks. I would like to believe that there is some magical force that keeps speeders from speeding when they know a camera is watching.
If you could have your say so over where to install a video camera in Fayetteville, where would you like to see it posted?
