I never ever run red lights, but these cameras have recently been banned in VA because, not only were they causing rear end collisions, it was discovered that the yellow lights had been shortened at these intersections precisely to catch more people and raise more money. BTW, when I'm alone at a red light on my bike, I do not weigh enough to trip the sensor under the pavement. I can sit there for several minutes waiting for a car to come up behind me to trip the sensor or I can ride through, which I do only when there's really no one around. Sometimes I can make a right on red and then another right. But if there's a no turn on red sign, I'm truly screwed. These cameras are just revenue raisers. If they cared about safety, they'd have the problem solved after a few days of having a cop at the intersection going after red light runners.
