Iowa House passes bill requiring state approval for traffic cameras, restricting their use to high-risk areas.

Iowa House lawmakers have passed a bill that would require state approval for traffic cameras and restrict their use to certain areas. The proposal requires local governments to obtain a permit from the Department of Transportation before installing a traffic camera system, and stipulates that these systems should only be installed in high-risk areas. The bill also sets a minimum speed requirement of 10 miles per hour above the limit for a driver to receive a traffic camera ticket.
