While TxDOT does not install, pay for, or maintain red light cameras, we do
work with municipalities to ensure proper installation.
State Right of Way
Red light cameras on
state right-of-way (ROW) are reviewed by TxDOT to ensure they do not impact the
existing traffic signal operation and meet all TxDOT safety requirements.
Municipalities are encouraged to review
Chapter 707 of the Transportation Code for all the requirements related to
the installation and operation of red light cameras in Texas.
State Highways
Cities may install red light cameras on TxDOT ROW through an amendment to the
Municipal Maintenance Agreement (MMA). Cities without an executed MMA, and
counties, however, are not allowed to install red light cameras on state ROW.
Cities with an executed MMA must contact their local TxDOT district office and
inform them of the intention to install the equipment.
Engineering Analysis
As per Section 703 of Chapter 707, prior to installing red light cameras
municipalities must complete an engineering analysis. TxDOT has developed a
sample “Engineering
Analysis Template” which can be used to meet this requirement.
