City of Newark Selects Redflex Traffic Systems to Provide Red Light Safety Enforcement at Dangerous Intersections

PHOENIX, AZ—June 18, 2009—Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., the largest provider of
photo enforcement systems for roads and highways in the U.S., announced a partnership with
Newark, New Jersey to provide photo enforcement at dangerous intersections in the city.
Newark, with a population of approximately 300,000, joins Edison, New Jersey as one of the
first cities in the state to use red light photo enforcement.

In January 2008, a five-year pilot program was established in New Jersey in order to
determine the effectiveness of traffic control signal monitoring systems. Under the state’s
Department of Transportation (NJDOT), the state of New Jersey is now operating a Red Light
Running Automated Enforcement pilot program.

“While bringing jobs and revenues to Newark is important, this program was created to
reduce lawlessness and save lives, which is critical,” Mayor Booker said. “We will save lives
in all of our neighborhoods. I commend our Department of Engineering and the New Jersey
Department of Transportation on developing this program,” Mayor Booker said.

The program will begin with ten intersections, but the contract calls for up to 400 systems and
provides for a contract term of five years with one two-year renewal. The intersection at
Broad Street and Raymond Boulevard in Newark is the site of the first red light camera in the
city. The heavily-trafficked intersection of Broad Street and Market Street will be the second
site in Newark. These represent the two most dangerous intersections in the city, according to
city officials.

“Newark’s decision to implement this important safety program is significant as New Jersey
looks to photo enforcement as a tool to reduce collisions,” said Karen Finley, President and
CEO of Redflex Traffic Systems. “We look forward to working with the City to realize the
benefits of this technology that have been experienced by cities in 25 other states across the
country.”

NJDOT will continue to determine specific locations across the state that have a demonstrated
history of violations and accidents related to red light running. The pilot program will assess
if a photo enforcement system is an effective long-term tool to increase safety at these
locations.
