An intersection where I wait for the city bus in TN really needs a red light camera. During rush hour, it's a contest to see who can block the intersection the best. In the past year, I've seen only one car get pulled over for it. But I guess there are better things the police can be doing than ticketing stupid, inconsiderate drivers.
- tkhoven 17y agoI don't know how your cameras are designed but ours (Queensland, Australia) still wouldn't pick this up. They are only meant to activate when a vehicle enters the intersection or crosses the stop line after their light has turned red: http://www.police.qld.gov.au/Resources/Internet/programs/roadSafety/documents/redLightCamOffences.pdf http://www.police.qld.gov.au/Resources/Internet/programs/roa...
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoIn london they have "Yellow Box Cameras" which detect people blocking four-way junctions. I don't know if it's the same in other countries but you're not supposed to enter these yellow marked boxes unless you are sure you can get to the other side, so you won't block cross traffic. However, my first result of Googling claims that they're actually causing longer jams. Sound like it could be fixed with slightly smaller no-stop zones. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article673093.ece http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article673093.ece
