Newsom Signs AB 2168 that Strengthens Walking and Biking Programs

Red Light Camera Bill - SB 720 - Update - Success!
- The Red Light Camera Bill that was signed by Governor Newsom in 2025 is lifesaving legislation that supports cities in better taking on one of the most dangerous driving behaviors: red light running. The cameras are not Flock cameras. They take a photo of the license plates of cars that run red lights, not the drivers' faces.
