Houston had cameras for several years. We had a referendum on the ballot in November and Houston has removedthe cameras because people voted. We can change things with a vote.

They had people speak out against this and the council decided against not going forward.One council member who was against the red light cameras said bluntly it was just for revenue.Hopefully it will die before it goes as far as getting put in place and we have to do what the citizens of Houston did.
may very well be, BUT

may very well be, BUT why not wait and see what happens at these "crash prone" sites after a reasonable period of time?
Would it be all that bad if the city made money AND the public was safer?
Warning, speed limit 7km per hour? Why
Since I updated my red light file I keep getting this warning:
"Warning, speed limit 7km per hour? Why is this happening several times a day.
POI file with numbers in the name.
This indicates that you have loaded a POI file with a "7" in the name, such as 7-eleven.csv. POI Loader interprets numbers in the file name as an implied speed alert. Rename the file so it has no numbers in the name (eg. SevenEleven.csv) and rerun POI Loader.

Until the voting public
Until the voting public states clearly - fires the bastards - it will continue. It's amazing to me that the public cannot discern between doing things that promote safety on the roads vs. granting a carte blanche for revenue raised thru Speed & Redlight cameras.
I guess we get what we deserve.

Well
Activism and voting does the trick
