Some were, there are two intersections in Georgia, one is Windy Hill Road and I forget the other but it is in Gwinn ette county where they had real numbers to show the crashes went down. Windy Hill was just damn nasty and its a big intersection. I still prefer those where traffic is only going one direction.
Still I do think many are in place only for revenue, much like speed limit cameras. I would rather see red light cameras than speed limit cameras, however I want the later to come only under specific circumstances with full public accounting. I think if they really want to sell us on safety it should all go to charity.
- Zak 12y agoSomething I've seen a lot in Europe is speed cameras in places that have a specific good reason for people to slow down. Several seconds before encountering the camera is a sign with the speed limit and a camera icon or the word "radar". The purpose isn't to issue tickets, but to get people to slow down for the dangerous section of road.
- Adirael 12y agoSome are there because they need to be, some aren't. In my country most of them aren't there to keep you safe but to have a revenue stream. I know a couple of signals that are there to just make people slow down, and they work even if a lot of us know that there's no radar there.
