Dover - The Department of Transportation announces that ten additional red light cameras are expected to be installed at locations throughout the state by early summer.

Currently, as part of the Electronic Red Light Safety Program (ERLSP), 20 red light cameras capable of video taping red light violators are operational throughout the State. The ten new cameras, expected to be up and running by summer, include one additional location in Kent County, seven in New Castle County, and two in Sussex County.

“We are glad to see the addition of these new cameras, bringing the total to 30 locations throughout the state. We know this program is saving lives and reducing the number of angle crashes, which are more likely to result in serious injury or death,” said Transportation Secretary Carolann Wicks.

The first two locations to be operational will be in Sussex County on Route 1 at Munchy Branch Road and Route 1 at Old Landing Road. Once the cameras are operational, a 30-day warning period will be provided, which means motorists traveling through a red light at these locations will receive a warning instead of a citation, until the warning period expires. Permanent “Red Light Camera Enforcement” signs will also be placed at each location to indicate which intersections are monitored by cameras.

The seven new locations in New castle County that are expected to be operational by summer are:

Old Baltimore Pike at Salem Church Road/Salem Woods Drive
Route 2/Kirkwood Highway at Harmony Road
Route 2/Kirkwood Highway at Red Mill Road/Polly Drummond Hill Road
Route 58/Churchmans Road at Route 1 Northbound ramps
Route 92/Naamans Road at Shipley Road/Brandywine Parkway
Route 273 at Harmony Road/Gerald Drive
Route 273 at Route 7
