According to a report, Pittsburgh’s red-light cameras will go into effect and live around the end of August.
That’s according to documents obtained by KDKA Radio’s Colin Dunlap.
The Automated Red-Light Enforcement or ARLE will be at selected locations around the City of Pittsburgh.
They include, Saw Mill Run Boulevard. and Woodruff Street is one of the six intersections that will have the technology installed first.
Red light cameras will also be installed at General Robinson and Anderson Street on the North Shore, 5th Avenue and Negley Avenue, West End Bridge and Route 65, North Dallas and Penn Avenues and at Park View Boulevard and Browns Hills Road in Squirrel Hill.
After an infraction is caught on camera, a “sworn police officer” will have to validate that an infraction happened.
The documents state that Pittsburgh Police are looking to train officers so they can review the footage, once the system goes live.
Training is scheduled for early next month for interested officers.
Council member Erika Strassburger says the goal is to reduce crashes and move closer to zero injuries and fatalities on Pittsburgh streets.
By 2029, up to 30 intersections could be monitored by the automated system, giving drivers plenty of incentive to stop on red.
Strassburger introduced the program in July 2024, and it was approved by City Council in August 2025.
