Residents on the east side of the valley are wondering if cameras might lessen the number of car crashes at the corner of Viking and Sandhill roads.
The intersection has a traffic signal but according to neighbors, drivers always try and beat the light.
However, according to the Nevada Department of Transportation and the Regional Transportation Commission traffic cameras are only used to observe traffic patterns and there are currently 450 cameras around the valley operated by the Freeway and Arterial System of Transportation program, known as FAST.
The cameras do not record video and nor are they used for law enforcement purposes as Nevada law prohibits the use of speed or red light cameras except under a very few circumstances.
The media states that the devices are considered controversial and efforts to get them approved in Nevada have not gained much support in the state legislature.
