OK.....so where the heck am I?

Interesting

Interesting to see that the Police have stated that intersections with cameras saw a decreae in red light violations but an increase in accidents. They attributed the decrease in red light violations to an increase in yellow light time. The City lost money on the entire contract with Redflex. It's nice to see a City where the main goal wasn't about the money.
