Red light cameras activated at busy intersection in Center City Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The switch has now been flipped on some new red light cameras in Center City Philadelphia.

The PPA began a 60-day warning period on Monday for the cameras at the intersection of Kelly Drive and Eakins Oval.

Drivers caught running the light will get a warning in the mail.

That becomes a $100 fine starting January 8.

The city says the cameras have reduced red light running by 58 percent on average.
