State Rep. LaKeshia Myers (D-Milwaukee) re-introduced on Friday, Oct. 22 the "Safe Roads Save Lives Act" – better known as the "Red Light Camera Bill."
"It has become commonplace to see cars running red lights, stop signs, and weaving in and out of traffic for no good reason," Myers said. Reckless driving continues to take the lives of people across Milwaukee.
"Right now we are in a state of emergency. All hands on deck," said community activist Tracey Dent.
Friday's reintroduction marked the third time the bill has been pushed in hopes of making progress to curb reckless driving.
"The ‘Safe Roads Saves Lives Act’ would allow the city of Milwaukee to utilize automated speed enforcement to curb reckless driving," Myers said. The legislation creates a five-year pilot program with a maximum of 75 red light cameras spread out across each aldermanic district.
