Red-light and speed cameras continue to proliferate in the Washington area despite years of public opposition and even as other U.S. cities begin to abandon the controversial traffic programs.

Montgomery County last week added 10 new portable speed cameras and plans to install 20 more red-light cameras by the end of 2013. Prince George’s County launched its own speed camera program in August, and the District added new speed cameras in November.
