After 3 months you may have gotten used to taking advantage of no traffic-safety cameras……that time has ended.The delay was a change in contractors; there will be 16 cameras operational by Friday - 14 are already operational in west Mesa. Not to leave east Mesa out, 18 more will be added over the next several months - expanding the traffic-safety system.Interim Chief G.T. Fowler comments that red-light crashes are some of the most serious. In 2005 there were 61 crashes with 64 fatalities in Mesa - a sobering thought and caution to not take chances.With citations at $195, it may make one think twice before racing through that intersection. For your convenience, you’ll be able to go online to view your violation for speeding or red-light running, pay the fine, or schedule a hearing - now that’s service - a new convenience provided by the new contractor.
