If you come from the North on Cleveland Ave. or the West on Dublin-Granville Rd., the new traffic camera may be of interest to you.

The Dispatch published an article about the new red light camera installed at the corner of 161 and Cleveland Ave, which took effect Monday.


"Two more intersections will fall under the unblinking eye of red-light cameras on Monday.

Starting at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Columbus will activate cameras at Brice Road and Scarborough Boulevard on the Far East Side and at Cleveland Avenue and E. Dublin-Granville Road on the North Side.

For the first 30 days, those caught running the light will receive a warning. After that, the fine is $95.

Crashes are common at both intersections, said Deputy Safety Director George Speaks, with an average of 45 crashes per year at Cleveland and E. Dublin-Granville and 39.7 per year at Brice and Scarborough.

“We have 15,000 intersections in Columbus, and these rank very high,” he said.

The activations will bring to 24 the number of Columbus intersections covered by red-light cameras."
