The City of Modesto has launched its new automated traffic safety program to change driver behavior, curb reckless red-light running at high-risk intersections across town, and make streets safer for all.
The following locations were selected to launch 10 red-light cameras in several directions:
- Eastbound Briggsmore Ave. at Coffee Rd., the red-light cameras were operational as of March 1, 2026
- Eastbound Sylvan Ave. at Coffee Rd., the red-light cameras were operational as of March 11, 2026.
- Eastbound Briggsmore Ave. at Carver Rd.
- Eastbound Pelandale Ave. at Carver. Rd.
- Northbound Oakdale Rd. at Briggsmore Ave.
- Southbound McHenry Ave. at Standiford Ave.
- Northbound El Vista/Oakdale Rd. at Scenic Dr.
- Northbound N. Carpenter Rd. at Kansas Ave.
- Northbound 9th St. at G St.
- Westbound Yosemite Blvd. at S. Santa Rosa Ave.
After red-light cameras are turned on at each intersection, a 30-day warning period will go into effect. After the 30 days, the program will begin issuing citations for all red-light violations. Any vehicle captured failing to stop at a red light will be sent a citation. Warnings will begin this spring.
“Cameras are proven to be effective in reducing crashes and serious injuries,” said Modesto Mayor Sue Zwahlen. “We need to stop dangerous driving behavior before it becomes fatal. Do your part by driving safely and following the law to create a safer Modesto for all.”…
