Official:Amending Chapter 12-3000 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Use Of An Automated Red Light Enforcement System To Prevent Red Light Violations," by authorizing the installation of red light enforcement systems at the intersection of South Penn Square at Broad Street, and by reducing to sixty days the phase-in period during which only warnings are issued, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember DiCicco
Introduced: October 23, 2008
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill would install red light enforcement cameras at South Penn Square and Broad Street to prevent traffic accidents. The system will issue warnings for the first 60 days after installation.
