I am not in favor of them BUT, damn... they would make a mint off of them around here. Amazes me how many people try to gun it through the intersections. No wonder there are so many T-bone accidents
Yeah, but even if they made them revenue neutral, they dont make anyone safer. They dont deter the ones who run the light so late that they crash. Thats why all our intersections have a full second all red overlap.
I agree 100% that they do not contribute to safety. I just wish they would put them in and ticket them at $200-300 each offense. Put that money into the schools. Each kid would have a school laptop and no supply list within 2 years in this county

It is not red light running, as most know it (passing under the light just when it changes or a bit after, but before the green is given to opposing traffic), that causes accidents, it is the inattentive driver. One or the other. And that is the money maker. Now if those cameras only recorded a car running the light after about 1 or 2 seconds after the red light, and charged a fine of $300 plus, that I would support.

That's not likely. How much has all of that casino revenue raised the school budget? Money's too fungible, every dollar they put in from some external source they take out of the general funding.
Based on everything I heard over the years that would be money for the schools, the schools should have billions by now. Yet, they continue to moan and groan that they don't have enough.

Work as little as possible for the most money being able to be fleeced from the taxpayer. The educational-administration-industrial complexes motto.
There, fixed. Pretty much teachers are just doing what they can with what they have.
