Last month we talked about speed cameras in school zones around the region. This month, red light cameras have taken center stage in debate over local traffic control issues, as the city of Albany lobbies the state to implement the technology.

Is the use of technology really effective for safety as officials are claiming, or is it just a way to enhance revenue for municipalities? Or both?
