I'm sorry I disagree. I believe the only reason for cameras is to make money for the city, or state.
Wrong, wrong wrong...
In our city red light running is getting to be a real problem.
Where cameras have been installed accidents have dropped. All have warning signs telling you there is a camera. We have a few random fake cameras with signs all over so it's not about the money.
What price do you put on a saved life?
I agree 100% with this. I don't usually like this type of 'unmanned revenue generating system' but I happen to believe that red light cameras do make roads safer.
As Fizz mentioned, in many cities, the red light cameras are announced by signs before you even get to the intersection.
