Dallas Texas red light cameras not getting desired results

Apparently it costs a lot more to maintain some of the cameras than the cities can make off of them. While safety is a concern, cost (or roi really) is always the most important factor to cities struggling with strict budgets. If the intersection does not produce enough income to warrant the cameras' maintainance costs, then they shut them down.

Probably because of POI Factory- Everyone has a GPS and joined POI Factory.

Very intersting.

I would think that this situation would happen with many or most camera locations after a few months or a few very short years.

Between GPS alerts, word of mouth, media attention, and often very obvious signage.....the general public will be more cautious and aware.

This (to me) is kind of like having a speed trap in the same place for months/years that is being manned by a police person in a very obvious/open area. As time goes on, the revenue will shrink quickly.
