We thank all who responded to the Jonah Center’s February 2024 survey on Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Devices (ATESDs) also known as speed and red-light cameras. We submitted to the City of Middletown the list of names and addresses of those in favor of using this technology to make our streets safer. Read more about the issue here.

On September 3, 2024, Middletown’s Common Council passed an ordinance allowing the use of ATESDs. (Such an ordinance is required by state law prior to implementation by a municipality.) The Middletown Police Department must now apply to CT DOT for a permit to use ATESDs in specific locations justified by crash other safety data.
