Pinal County Sheriff joining photo radar protest
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu will be speaking at a protest being held this weekend at the Arizona Headquarters of Redflex Traffic Systems, an Australian Photo Radar Company.
Protests of the company by an activist group have been ongoing since Redflex signed a Contract in 2008 to operate fixed photo radar machines and mobile vans on the interstates and freeways throughout the state. The protest will be happening Saturday, beginning at 12:00 noon. Representatives of Arizona Citizens Against Photo Radar (ACAPR) are also scheduled to speak.
Babeu and ACAPR have been allies since he took office in early 2009 and ended the Photo Radar operations of Redflex in his county. The newly elected Sheriff cited the safety risks posed by the cameras to motorists in Pinal County as well as the argument that the system is unconstitutional. Babeu credits his stance on photo traffic enforcement with winning him the election for Sheriff in 2008.

Pipeline maintenance to temporarily close Teel Road in Thunderbird Farms
Pipeline maintenance by El Paso Natural Gas will temporarily close Teel Road between Ralston Road and Thunderbird Road from Monday, February 15th until Friday, February 19th.
The location of the road closure is southwest of the City of Maricopa and northwest of Stanfield.
Pinal County Road Engineer, John Kraft, said there will be signs placed to help guide drivers for detour routes. To avoid construction, drivers can take Ralston Road north off of Teel Road. Drivers then can proceed west on Val Vista Road and then head south on Thunderbird Road.
Pinal County Public Works asks that all drivers who are using these routes use caution and obey all traffic signs.
