Fronteras Desk (via KJZZ public radio) reports, “In an effort to help police officers zero in on wrong-way drivers, the Arizona Department of Transportation says it’s expanding the use of thermal cameras,” although it currently has no timeline for installation. A spokesperson says ADOT won’t rely on the cameras to prevent wrong-way driving, but they have other valuable functions. They can help alert law enforcement officers, and thus improve response times, and allow for the faster display of warning messages on roadside electronic signs.
