Temporary cameras could be seen atop traffic signals at various intersections along Main Street in Steinbach last week. No they are not red light cameras. Larry Halayko is the executive director of Construction and Maintenance for Manitoba Infrastructure. He explains the purpose of the cameras.

"Those cameras are used for doing traffic counts on the highways that we post them on. What we do is, we post them, and then we use software to do analysis to determine vehicle counts."

Halayko says they do these traffic counts on a regular basis to keep their data base up to date.
