Hampton, Virginia drivers are questioning the effectiveness of red light cameras installed at the Settlers Landing intersection near I-64. The cameras, active on weeknights from 3 to 6 p.m., are intended to prevent drivers from using residential streets as a detour during rush hour. However, motorists report confusion, with GPS directions and the persistent red light in the center lane leading to unexpected tickets.

City officials state the cameras aim to improve traffic flow and safety, but residents advocate for clearer signage and a re-evaluation of the system’s fairness and accident prevention capabilities.
