Most liked posts in thread: Ohio House passes bill to ban red-light, speed cameras

I know a couple people who have been rear ended because of these cameras. I will be glad to see them go.

 

:cornut: A lot of the municipalities in Texas are canceling their traffic camera contracts because they are losing money to these companies as the motorists see the camera and obey the law but the camera company's bills must still be paid. Big Brother! Take a Hike!

I always thought an officer of the law was required to inforce traffic violations....

 

I'm no the road driving just about everyday and see at least 4 to 6 cars run red lights everyday. As far as that go's how many drivers are no their phones ( 7 out of 10 )

 

At the same time some places have shortened the yellow lights to catch more.

 

In small Spanish towns, they time the lights so that you must go a set speed or they all turn red if you go over the set speed limit. Enough of that usually gets the point across...especially when facing the irate drivers who are being held up by stupidity. In the larger cities, they still use the stoplight cameras and send out tickets to those who keep going. They thwart the cronic offenders by tracking the license plates and towing the cars at night.

 

I have no problem with the cameras. I refuse to pay an outside company for traffic violations. Cyclists downtown have been known to egg them or hit them with other objects that prevent clear pictures.

 

Cyclists seem to be the worst offenders as far as running red lights goes. Why do they care if there is a camera? No plates on their bikes so no tickets for them. Nothing but revenue generation machines.

 

Nope not in the modern day.

 

4-6 a day? That's lightweight. Around here I see 4-6 per traffic light running red lights. Especially up here around Easton.

 

Gosh! I never see anyone run red lights.
