Eugene eyes red-light, speed cameras to curb fatal crashes
Traffic and red-light cameras could be coming to Eugene's streets. Despite public backlash surrounding Flock cameras , the Eugene Public Works Department announced Nov. 4 it will collect feedback about whether cameras tied to traffic enforcement can reduce traffic deaths. City officials said cameras could reduce fatal crashes in Eugene if they are installed at high-crash intersections.
