Red light cameras to return to the Queen City

Red lights

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte City Council approved a one-year pilot program to bring red light cameras to Charlotte.

You could be charged $75 for running a red light at 10 intersections across the city.

Leaders say it will cost around $5,000 a month per intersection.

Those intersections include:

  • Graham Street & Norris Avenue
  • University City Blvd & I-85 Northbound Ramp
  • Steele Creek Road & Westinghouse Blvd
  • N Tryon Street and University City Blvd
  • Central Avenue & Sharon Amity Road
  • W.T. Harris Blvd & N Tryon Street
  • S Tryon Street & Arrowood Road
  • S Mint Street & West Blvd
  • Central Avenue & Kilborne Drive
  • 36th Street & The Plaza

This is the first time in 20 years Charlotte has implemented the use of red light cameras.
