Red light cameras have some supporters. The Citizens Traffic Commission voted five to two Friday morning to keep the cameras up.
Another group, the Citizens Red Light Committee, voted last month to take the cameras down. Both groups were scheduled to make a recommendation on the red light camera issue to the Lubbock City Council.
The cameras went up in June but have been under close scrutiny. And after a report came back showing the cameras were causing more accidents and were not generating revenue, the issue came back in front of city officials.
The city council will make the final decision. They are set to vote on February 14th.
