NMA Ohio Alert: Vote for Motorists’ Rights on Nov. 8
Next week residents in several suburban Cleveland communities and in Ashtabula will vote on ballot measures that either eliminate or place limits on photo enforcement cameras in their communities.
The National Motorists Association opposes red-light cameras and other automated traffic enforcement systems. Contrary to what camera supporters state, research shows that red-light cameras do not improve safety. (Learn more about the NMA's arguments against red-light cameras here.) We urge residents to vote as follows on Nov. 8: South Euclid: Vote YES on Issue 97 to ban the use of photo enforcement cameras. East Cleveland: Vote YES on Issue 49 to ban the use of photo enforcement cameras. Garfield Heights: Vote NO on Issue 56 to forbid placement of photo enforcement cameras in school zones and recreational parks. Ashtabula: Vote YES on Issue 54 to require a law enforcement officer to be present at the photo enforcement camera location to issue the citation. Many concerned citizens have volunteered countless hours to get these measures on the ballot. Show your appreciation for their hard work by going to the polls next Tuesday. If you have family or friends in these communities, let them know what’s at stake and ask them to vote as well. Thanks for your support and let's secure a WIN for motorists in Ohio.
