AUTOMATED RED LIGHT CAMERA ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM BEGINS

The City of Richland Hills has deemed red light running to be a threat to public safety. In November 2006, the City Council amended City Code to allow for the installation of red light cameras in the city. The purpose of this amendment, and the goal of the Automated Red Light Camera Enforcement program, is to increase traffic safety in Richland Hills.

The majority of red light violations that result in crashes involve right-angle impacts, which tend to be the most severe of collisions. It is believed that the Automated Red Light Camera Enforcement program will reduce the incidents of red light violations, thereby reducing the chance for serious crashes.

The first cameras were installed at the intersection of Glenview Drive and Booth-Calloway Road, for east-and west-bound Glenview traffic. The cameras were activated March 29, 2007, making Richland Hills the first city in Northeast Tarrant County to use this state-of-the-art digital technology. One other camera will be installed in the near future at west-bound Baker Boulevard at Rufe Snow Drive.

As previously stated, the program began March 29, 2007, with a 30-day warning period. During the warning period, only warning notices, not actual violation notices, will be issued. On April 29, 2007, enforcement of red light violations will begin. The violations are civil citations and will not appear on the violator’s driving record. Fines are $75 for first and second offenses; third or subsequent violations committed by the same owner of a motor vehicle during any 12-month period are $100. Violations are mailed to the vehicle’s registered owner and will include photos of the violation.

Questions regarding the Automated Red Light Camera Enforcement program can be directed to the Richland Hills Police Department at 817.299.1880.

SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY!

The City of Richland Hills has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas of the City in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a missing child, law enforcement alert or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or an answering machine, making three attempts to connect to any number.
