Red-light camera ban approved in Laguna Niguel

Laguna Niguel has voted to ban red-light cameras in the city.

The city has never installed the system, but it has been evaluated from time to time, City Manager Tim Casey said.

"We've never really felt compelled to recommend consideration or installation," Casey said in a phone interview. "[The purpose of] this particular ordinance was to adopt a stronger position that we don't think these types of systems are appropriate or necessary in Laguna Niguel."

A future repeal of the prohibition would require two steps by the City Council and would give the public opportunity for input, according to the Coastline Pilot.

The ordinance will be officially adopted at the Sept. 20 meeting.
