Traffic Rules in Newburgh Heights
Newburgh Heights uses traffic cameras to help manage traffic. These cameras are on a short part of Interstate 77. They are also on Harvard Avenue, which leads to the I-77 entrance. These cameras help make sure drivers follow speed limits.
The former mayor, Trevor Elkins, said in 2017 that the village uses one hand-held camera. He stated that the camera system is safer than police officers stopping cars. He also said that people who speed are breaking the law. About 25% of the village's money comes from these traffic tickets. This is higher than the national average, which is usually around 2%.
Mayor Elkins has publicly supported using the cameras. He agrees they bring in money for the village. In 2016, he said, "Do I recognize that they generate revenue? Absolutely. Do I apologize for that? No."
In 2019, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a new law. This law reduces state funding for cities that use traffic cameras. The amount of money lost equals the fines collected from the cameras. This law also requires that any challenges to camera tickets must be heard in court. They cannot be decided by an administrative officer.
