A company that produces red light cameras put out a press release yesterday stating “New Texas cities contracted with REDFLEX include Allen, Bedford, Carrollton, Forney, Granite Shoals, Haltom, Hurst, Killeen, Lewisville, Mesquite, Southlake, Tomball and Roanoke.”

The company refers to themselves as “the leading provider of photo enforcement technology in the U.S.” You can read the entire press release here.

We don’t even have that many red lights within Forney city limits, and most of those are on TXDOT-controlled Farm-to-Market roads, so I’m not sure where these red light cameras would even end up, outside of a few lights in downtown Forney. Has anyone heard anything about this? Discuss it in this topic in the Forney discussion forum.

UPDATE: An updated report hit the wire on October 9th and can be read here. This site states: “The scope of the program includes red-light enforcement at up to twenty intersections, and has a term of five years, plus two 2-year automatic renewals.”
