All Hail the Almighty Dollar, Red Light Cameras Options

[Cutrara]

I'm not against red light cameras. In fact, I think they're a good idea. What could be bad about reducing thousands of accidents a year? In the eyes of Dallas officials eyes, reducing millions of dollars in fine revenue a year.

"Faced with data showing that drivers pay attention to cameras at intersections — resulting in fewer ticketable violations and ever-shrinking revenue from fines — municipalities across the country are reconsidering red light cameras, which often work too well."

Just goes to show how the world is driven by the bottom line.

Red light cameras are used to raise revenue.
Especially if city/towns shorten yellow lights.
