The Arcadia Police Department begins using the MOLE™ to combat red light
running throughout the community. Together with the Traffic Engineering
Division, the Police Department installed MOLE™ units at those intersections
with the highest index of accidents. Both departments will review collision
statistics and place MOLE™ devices at intersections with a history of red
light-related collisions. The Police Department doesn't anticipate an influx of
citations from the use of the device, however, they do see the use of the MOLE™
as a great resource to specifically target red light violations and lessen the
occurrences of red light-related incidents in town.
