Redflex Traffic Systems is losing another customer. On Tuesday, Hayward, California's city council voted 6-1 to end the use of red light cameras at the earliest possible opportunity, joining thirty-four other California cities that have decided to abandon automated ticketing. Hayward's decision comes at a time when the Australian-based company is reeling from investigations of its involvement in bribery schemes in Chicago, Illinois and two other cities.
Safety?
The Hayward experience was much different than all the "Studies" promoted by Redflex.

Let's hope this is a trend that spreads across the whole US of A!
no tears shed...
for the camera club. I don't have any stock in the company, so let them go down in smoke.
It Would Be
It would be a delightful day if the Red Light POI would no longer be necessary, but I'm not holding my breath.
I believe the speed cameras can do some good, but only if they're working correctly & fairly.

Red Light Cameras
I see this as a positive trend. As I live near Chicago, I really don't expect that group of "politicians" to change anything as it is just business as usual up here.
