A coalition that includes the NAACP, environmentalists and the Libertarian Party wants to make the city one of the biggest in the U.S. to ban the use of traffic cameras to catch drivers who run red lights.
The group, which succeed last year in helping urge voters to defeat a sales tax increase to build a new jail, has started a petition drive to ask voters in November to amend the city's charter preventing City Council from using the technology. The cameras are used in about 300 U.S. cities, including Columbus.
