TEMPE, AZ (CBS5) It looks like Tempebased American Traffic Solutions isn just in the business of redlight cameras anymore.

So what is American Traffic Solutions doing about it? Well, it has installed cameras on buses."There a sensor on the side of the bus. That sensor detects once the stop arm is deployed, whether or not a vehicle passes the stop arm," Territo said.The cameras capture images and videos of a car illegally passing a Jamar Taylor Game Jersey bus. Someone then looks at them to see if the driver broke the law and if it deemed they did, the evidence is sent to police. Right now Maryland, Georgia, Florida and Texas are using the technology.Although their redlight cameras have come under scrutiny, everyone CBS 5 News spoke with gives this program a thumbsup."If I didn have a kid in school that rides the bus, I might think different, but I do and I all for it," said one http://www.shopdolphinsnfljersey.com/dolphins-jamar-taylor-jersey-c-13.html man."I think that this program would actually be very helpful," Idella Hamilton said."I think it would be a very good idea," Maria Saenz said.If the state Legislature decides not to touch the issue in the future, individual cities can always add ordinances allowing the technology on school buses within their jurisdiction.Most Popular StoriesMost Popular StoriesMore>>UPDATEConvicted killer Milke released on bond pending retrialConvicted killer Milke released on bond pending retrialUpdated: Friday, September 6 2013 9:30 PM EDT20130907 01:30:44 GMTDebra Milke.
