Murfreesboro To Get Red-Light Cameras

The city of Murfreesboro now has the green light to help stop red-light runners. The Murfreesboro city council approved a contract with a Maryland company to provide red-light cameras at six major intersections. The fine for drivers caught running the red lights will be $50 and it will be considered a civil offense, much like a parking ticket. The intersections where the cameras will be placed are: Broad and Church St., Memorial and Northfield Blvd, NW Broad Street and Northfield Blvd, S. Church Street at Middle TN Blvd, Rutherford and Mercury Blvd, and Old Fort Parkway and Thompson Lane. A date for the implementation of the cameras has not been set.
