IronTiger Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm literally a day late on this, but red light cameras have been banned. Although I won't speak my piece on it until tomorrow, what are your thoughts on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFlinch Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm too busy speeding through red lights to be thinking about much of anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My thoughts.. that this won't affect 95% of the people that read this.LOL, you are SO right, yet so wrong.You have to credit IronTiger, he did post this in the right subforum. So I can't fault him for that, just others like myself that quickly assumed that it was relating to Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Critical Mass rides were pretty fun when we went through a light with cameras. That thing goes off like a strobe light and takes a bunch of worthless pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's flood the system with too many pictures for them to scrutinize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes, this was relating to College Station, not Houston. Sorry for the mix-up.Anyway, on Election Day, College Station voted down the red light cameras set up in a dozen intersections. The good news is that it did cut down on red light runners and accidents. The bad news is that they would often catch people making 1 MPH right turns on red. The other really bad news is that an Arizona company set up the things in the busiest (not necessarily most dangerous) intersections to get the most money.

AllonaJ Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What I can say is that red light cameras continue to draw debate. I also heard that twenty-one out of 25 New Jersey municipalities will have their red light cameras suspend, pending an investigation by the transportation department. Some of the cameras may not becalibrated correctly. However, that is not an invite to run red light with immunity. If you purchase new autos, you usually will driversafer and stay away from tickets.
