Several cities in Iowa are pushing for the controversial installment of traffic enforcement cameras, but the cities’ efforts are complicated by some state guidelines.

Iowa State Representative Walt Rogers from the 20th District, human factors and vehicle safety research director at the UI Public Policy Center Dan McGehee, and associate director at the Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University Shauna Hallmark join in on the conversation.
