STEUBENVILLE, Ohio -- Steubenville's controversial traffic cameras are coming back.

Tuesday night, Councilman David Lalich of the city's safety committee announced an upcoming resolution that would bring the cameras back with additional signs to warn drivers photo enforcement is in use.

A municipal judge recently invalidated hundreds of tickets issued through the remote camera system because he believed the city had failed to provide adequate notice to drivers.

The resolution introduced Tuesday would place permanent conspicuous signs at all entrances to the city.

"It's not going to be a question of how far is the sign from the camera," said Police Chief Bill McCafferty. "You're going to know we have photo enforcement in Steubenville."

City Manager Bruce Williams told NEWS9 the city is locked into a five-year deal with Traffipax, the company that owns the cameras.

Despite the controversy, McCafferty believes the cameras are good for public safety.

Under the new resolution, the revenue from tickets issued by the cameras would go toward neighborhood beautification projects and not the city's general fund.
