TRAFFIC CAMERAS: An Iowa House committee has approved a bill to ban traffic cameras in the state

A bill that would ban red light and speed cameras is closer to becoming law.

The Iowa House Transportation Committee voted Thursday afternoon to pass House File 2048 by a vote of 15-6. The bill would make it illegal for communities to use red light and speed cameras to issue tickets. The bill now moves on to the full House for debate.

Currently, Iowa doesn't have laws on the books regulating the cameras, generally leaving their use to the discretion of individual communities. Eight Iowa cities now use red-light cameras, speeding cameras or both.

In the metro, Des Moines and Clive have used the cameras and Windsor Heights plans to install them in two locations on I-235.
