Ticket cameras

Found this interesting news article on the internet. In part, this is a summed up version of what the article said.

For the first month beginning April 15th 2011 till May 15th 2011 it'll be a warning but after that all violators will be issued a 158$ ticket.

My favorite quote: "The red-light fines and fees siphon $3.3 million out of the local economy each year". Sooner or later that adds up to some real money!

do i need wave or mpg sound files for red light audio alerts ?

The San Diego Union Tribune is reporting two new red light cameras in Oceanside, CA. I have notified Miss POI so that they can be added to the POI file.

I think I've asked this question in the past, and nobody said yes.

For whatever reason, I find it annoying being the last car going through a red light intersection, because it's not possible to stop. But I usually look up and see the light is yellow, never red.

It seems like if you've run a red light, you know
it with 100% certainty.

Automated cameras will begin issuing tickets to the owners of vehicles that momentarily stray into bus lanes in New York City, New York beginning Monday. The cash-strapped metropolis imported the idea from London where a similar system generated 293,000 citations and more than £35 million (US $56 million) in 2008. New York’s bus lane tickets will run between $115 and $150 each.

Please be advised that the City of Yonkers has
a Red Light Camera System. They already have some in place and will continue to install Red Light Camera Systems throughout the City. (the latest one about to go up is Central Pk ave and Fort hill near Oakley's car
wash). The one’s in RED were installed in places most frequently traveled by some of you… Take note and remember.

The company will be responsible for all costs associated with the equipment and installation during the contract period, Police Chief Glenn Chrisman told the Council.

This was published over the weekend at the paper I work at in Lakeland; The Ledger. I thought you all may find it interesting.
