Ridgeland, South Carolina wants to deploy a speed camera to ticket out-of-state drivers as they pass through the seven-mile stretch of interstate within the tiny town’s limits. The plan angered the state legislature to such a degree that it unanimously enacted legislation in June to prohibit photo enforcement — except during declared state emergencies (view law). The Ridgeland town council refused to back down.
“As of yesterday, the iTraffic system is up and running,” Mayor Gary W. Hodges said last Tuesday. “We are going to make this community so that when people come through here on I-95… they know they’re going to be safe… Whatever we need to do as this evolves, we’re going to do it.”
