NMA Iowa Alert: Oppose Iowa City Red-Light Camera Measure
On Tuesday, Nov. 22, the Iowa City Council will vote on a measure to allow the installation of eight to 10 red-light cameras in the city.
The National Motorists Association strongly opposes red-light cameras and other automated traffic enforcement systems. Red-light cameras do not improve safety and erode due-process protections. (Learn more about the NMA's arguments against red-light cameras here.)
We urge you to contact council members to state your opposition to this proposal. According to a news report, final action on the measure may carry into next year when three new council members will be in place. These new voices may provide the necessary opposition to finally strike down the proposal.
If you live outside of Iowa City but have friends or relatives who do, let them know what’s going on and urge them to speak up.
With your help we can make a real difference for motorists in Iowa City.
