Morristown, TN to get Redlight/Speed Cameras

 

MORRISTOWN (WATE) -- A plan to put East Tennessee's first speed camera into operation in Morristown on Monday was delayed by snow.

Police Chief Roger Overholt says he thinks the camera, which is a speed and red light camera, will go into operation at the intersection of College Square Mall and Crockett Square later this week.

This map shows the mall's location:

Plus, the city will soon have four more cameras at these four intersections:

* W. Andrew Johnson Highway and Highway 160
* W. Andrew Johnson Highway and Morris Boulevard
* Morris Boulevard and Cumberland Street
* Morris and Haun Drive, near the mall

The police department says those four cameras are expected to be up and running by the end of February.

For the first 30 days, drivers who violate speed limits or run red lights at these intersections will get warning letters.

After that, $104 citations will be issued for anyone who speeds or runs a right light.

Signs warning drivers about the cameras will be placed near the intersections.

Redflex is the company operating the cameras.
