Got Caught By a Red Light Camera?
Well, if you are a South Dakota resident and have SD plates, worry no more. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/3/editorial-three-cheers-for-south-dakota/

In Chicago, they deliberately shortened yellow lights in order to catch more people, then trumpeted the revenue gains from doing so. With something this abused, I'm glad it is gotten rid of. Not like it is hard to enforce -- a single cop near an intersection will get people obeying the law in a heartbeat. Revenue generation can be done by a tax hike.
The two best systems I've seen were in Europe. European lights would signal red and yellow to tell drivers their turn was coming up.
We also have the countdown timers in Austin. I think it helps as a driver to judge if there is time to make it through the intersection versus being mentally prepared to stop.
