Prosecutor’s office to pay for two county traffic cameras; officials discuss best locations
Summary
Officials said the prosecutor's office will fund two additional traffic cameras; the group discussed alternative sites after state police installed a camera on US 136 and suggested a placement near Bridal 39 outside Rossville to cover multiple approaches.
County officials said the prosecutor's office will pay for two additional traffic cameras and discussed candidate locations after state police installed a camera on US 136.
"We're getting two additional cameras paid for out of the prosecutor's office," the chair said, noting state police had already placed one unit on US 136. The chair emphasized the need to follow county policy regarding camera placement and potential federal access concerns.
A committee member suggested siting a camera at Bridal 39 coming out of Rossville to capture two roads with a single unit and to monitor the bridge approach where semis pass. Participants discussed finding a back-road vantage point to maximize coverage and agreed to pursue locations that would cover multiple routes.
No formal motion to accept cameras or adopt locations was made; the discussion centered on operational placement, compliance with county policy, and coordination with state police and the prosecutor’s office.
