D.C. gets 3 new red light cameras

Three new red light cameras are in action at key streets in the District, adding to the more than 50 deployed throughout the city.

The cameras made their debut this week at Connecticut Avenue southbound at Porter Street NW, on 14th Street northbound at K Street NW, and on 3rd Street southbound at New York Avenue.

Until Nov. 12, people who miscalculate the duration of the yellow light and get caught by the red will receive warnings in the mail. After that, violators will receive citations. The District collected almost $7.2 million in red light camera fines in fiscal year 2009.
