Surprised nobody else commented but there's a bunch of studies that suggest red light cameras greatly increase rear collisions. This is because the second the light turns yellow people freak the fuck out and stand on the brakes. I've even seen times in NJ when we had the pilot program... someone would slam the brakes on, be concerned they were still sticking out too far into intersection, then throw car into reverse. Now imagine if I'm the guy following behind on a motorcycle. Yeah, I can probably stop as fast, but I'm not going to get away from them backing over me.
