Action News Jax Investigates: Jacksonville red light cameras
There are roughly 40 cameras scattered over Jacksonville, including 12 on Beach Boulevard.
The push to eliminate the cameras has been ongoing for months.
A 2016 state report shows out of the $158 a driver is fined for a red light violation caught on camera, $75 go to the local government and $83 go to the state.
Williams said the vendor will take the cameras back when the contract is up at the end of the year.
