SEATTLE (AP) — Red light cameras led to nearly 40,000 tickets in Seattle in 2015. Now Washington’s largest city is considering adding more.

KING 5 reports Seattle’s existing red light cameras brought in more than $5 million last year.

The Seattle Department of Transportation is looking for ore intersections to install red light cameras. The program has been in Seattle since 2006.

There are 31 cameras at 23 intersections throughout Seattle.
