Drivers who speed through red lights in parts of Pittsburgh will soon face automated consequences. News Radio KDKA's Timira Rush has details. City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to contract with Arizona-based Verra Mobility to install and operate the first six red light cameras throughout the city at a cost of nearly $14 million over five years, but the city can recoup the cost with revenue generated from the tickets. Officials say the goal is to reduce dangerous driving and fatal crashes without requiring police officers to monitor intersections in person. The first batch of cameras will begin with a 60-day warning period. During that time, anyone caught by the automated system will receive a warning, not a real ticket. State law sets the fine at $100. Officials estimated the initial round of cameras will be operational this winter.
