In 2024, the New York State Legislature passed and Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill to quadruple the number of automated red light cameras in NYC from 150 to 600 by 2027. New locations for red light cameras are being identified by NYC Department of Transportation with help from local representatives and community boards.
This month, with help from Councilmember Chris Marte and Assemblymember Grace Lee, NYC DOT announced that a new automated camera would be placed in the vicinity of Delancey and Clinton Streets to help prevent automobile drivers from running the red lights onto and off the Williamsburg Bridge and make the long crosswalk there safer for pedestrians.
