Yellow light duration issues
Just read a recent article that some red light camera tickets might have to be invalidated due to issues concerning the duration of the yellow lights at the affected intersections. Apparently, the yellow duration was shorter than the local requirements specified.
Just something to take a look at if you receive one of these tickets in the mail.

Hillsborough/Polk County Camera Update (Deletion Needed)
I've noticed a camera listed in the Red Light Camera Intersection file ever since I joined this site. I was pretty sure there was not an active camera at this location (County Line Rd and Ewell Rd) and today I finally had a chance to inspect it for certain.
The intersection has no cameras and should be deleted from the camera file.
