The city announced this week that four new traffic light cameras are being added at area intersections, beginning next month, that'll bring the total to eight.
The new locations:
Eastbound Main Street @ Woodland Drive
Southbound Lee Highway @ Jermantown Road
Eastbound Fairfax Boulevard @ Jermantown Road
Westbound Fairfax Boulevard @ Jermantown Road
The Main Street camera will be activated sometime in March, with the others to follow in the spring.
A study released last summer by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that red light camera programs in 79 large U.S. cities saved nearly 1,300 lives through 2014.
Fairfax, which dubs its program Respect Red, has four such red light camera locations, the most recent of which was added last summer: North Street at University Drive, Fairfax Circle, Main Street at Pickett Road, and Fairfax Boulevard at Plantation Parkway.

Hey folks avoid these cameras if your on your way to Arthur Treacher's. We know you can't wait but our succulent battered fish will be cooked fresh, piping hot and waiting.

The red light camera on Main Street beside Einstein Bagel place seems to flash a whole lot whenever I drive by there. They must be making a ton of money off that one.

I see these cameras flash all the time (mostly in DC).
I think they are just very sensitive/mis-adjusted.
Taking pictures of nothing.
Probably goes off on a hair trigger when it thinks anything entered
the intersection. They flash a lot when peds are almost off the curb.
I think the camera has to take multiple (at least two) pics to show
that you were in the intersection while Red, and most of the time
I only see it going off once.

Just make sure someone's following you a little too closely going into the intersection then slam your brakes as soon as the light turns yellow. Instant payday as you can blame it on the cameras.
