Texas Bans Red Light Cameras
- gdcohen 7y agoCrazy. The presence or even the possibility of cameras deters people from running red lights. SYDNEY, Australia is a great example of this.
- tmm84 7y agoI agree that the presence deters people from running them and I am for them. However, when I lived in Texas it caused a bunch of rear end collisions because most drivers thought the person would run the yellow/red timing of a light instead of coming to a tire screeching stop. The cameras ended up causing more accidents because the driving culture/habits were poor.
- silversconfused 7y agoA perfect example of a bad KPI (ticketing x violators) causing unexpected consequences (an increase of y accidents) instead of achieving the REAL goal (%z safer roads for all users).
- spacemanmatt 7y agoA profitable intersection comes with a body count. This is good for Texas.
