Red Light Cameras

Local News Roundup: Rob Harrington becomes the city’s next mayor, red-light cameras return, lawmakers override major vetoes in Raleigh and the Hornets trade guard LaMelo Ball

Chris Jones

This week, the Charlotte City Council appointed Rob Harrington as the next mayor and approved a pilot program to bring red-light cameras back. Meanwhile, the General Assembly overrode four of Gov. Josh Stein’s vetoes. The Hornets also traded away guard LaMelo Ball. We discuss it all on this week’s local news roundup.

Charlotte operated a red light camera program from 1998 - 2006, before ending it over cost concerns. Now, a new court ruling has opened the door for the cameras to return.
