    Haven’t we been reading about just about everyone whinning about the cameras being just a revenue enhancement, etc., etc.? Now they are in favor of them? What gives?

    Did you check in Houston? The results are just the opposite. Made accident go up 18%.

    Several large municipalities installed red light cameras and shortened the duration of the yellow light to make sure plenty of drivers would be caught.

    I live, work, and drive in Phoenix where we have redlight cameras and the yellow light duration seems adequate. I have NEVER gone through a redlight in many decades of driving.

    We did get rid of speed cameras which did not reduce accidents but did puff up revenues considerably. It took a lot of digging throught the stats to get at the truth
