Public Safety Commissioner David Zahn proposes permanent automatic cameras at busy Cedar Rapids intersections to record red light violations. Davenport already uses a system at five intersections with Transol handling image sorting and violation notices. The $65 per ticket fee is split between the city and Transol, and privacy concerns prevent driver photos in Davenport.
