Traffic camera's save lives.
 

I just heard this on the news this morning, and wanted to pass this important safety message on to you.

And it has nothing to do with making money... yea right.

Every time you use an apostrophe where it doesn't belong, god kills a kitten.

joe is right. it's about safety, not money.

I saw this on the morning news followed by a quick video of 3 or 4 crashes that are supposed to indicate vehicles running red lights,
They said that accidents went down 20% where there are cameras,
and the last line was "there have also been reported that rear end collisions are up at the same intersections".
WTF. are the camera companies trying to instill that a camera will make up safer drivers

It's all about the "children",--------------------- aahh, money.

If you run a red light you get what you deserve. Sucks for the other guy though.

so fatalities are down..

but hospital visit are up..
Body shops visit are up..
DMV revenue is up..
this has got to be a 'stimulus project' off sorts..
Rika

don't forget insurance rates....up.

Study: Raleigh's red light cameras don't reduce wrecks

Study: Raleigh's red light cameras don't reduce wrecks :: WRAL.com

The study provides strong evidence that the cameras can save lives when used appropriately with the goal of making roads safer, said AAA Mid-Atlantic spokeswoman Ragina Averella. "However, without proper ... oversight these automated enforcement measures can sometimes be abused and become revenue generators instead of lifesavers at the expense of motorists,"

note proper use of that high-flyin' comma thingie above

BUT... he left out the ellipsis!


where is thy ellipsis cat, sammy?

Several years ago in San Diego, a lot of people raised h#ll about red light cameras being used for revenue purposes. Of course the city denied it. The lights were contracted out to a private company with them sharing the money with the city. During the debate, it came out they had shortened the duration of the yellow lights - of course not for revenue purposes.
