'Road rage' cameras delayed

Three years after a string of deadly Southland freeway shootings prompted calls for activation of recording devices on existing freeway cameras, only a test project has been completed and officials have yet to pursue funding for the program, the Daily News has learned. Sue Doyle in the Daily News.

The outcry for recording came after nearly two dozen random roadway attacks in 2005 spurred law enforcement officials to ask Caltrans to start recording traffic from its 400 freeway cameras currently monitoring Los Angeles and Ventura counties freeways.

Last week, a shooting on the San Bernardino Freeway that left a 54-year-old Montclair woman dead returned the spotlight to the issue - but law enforcement and transportation officials said Monday that a recording process is still not in place.
