Perhaps when the Red-light camera technology is more mature (or there is more competition), the prices will come down enabling the city to keep more of the money.
i am all for generating revenue off of the law-breaking citizenry. it’s a choice to not pick up after your dog, dump yard waste in a greenbelt, smoke too close to a door or run a red light. all of those behaviors are basically a wanton disregard for other’s in your community.
what i would like to know is if the count-down timers on the pedestrian signals has a safety effect. i REALLY like those and hope that they will soon replace all of the walk signals. i just wonder if the “don’t care about anyone but me” crowd just uses them to gage how fast they have to speed up to “make the light”.
