Why are we spending so much time on red light & speed cameras?
I keep reading threads and posts about this municipality or that installing or uninstalling speed and/or red light cameras.
Personally, I do not download the red camera files, I do not speed- to much. I try not to run red lights or speed up for the yellow ones. I stop when I can safely do so and go through (with a prayer) when I can't or some idiot is following to closely!

Traffic light 'appendages'
Anyone in the Massapequa / Farmingdale NY area care to chime in on what's sitting atop the traffic light poles at the intersection of Unqua road and Merrick Ave... They are cameras (it appears) of some sort as well as the I/R receivers for emergency vehicles.

New Cars
Not sure if this has been asked before.
If we drive a brand new car with no license plate and got snapped by RLC, what happens then? How will they find out who the driver is or who the car belongs to? Btw, in case you're curious, no, I'm not planning to do that. I have never had a brand new car in my life.

Do speed cameras really cut accidents?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10762590
Now, 18 years, 6,000 cameras, and an estimated £100m in fines later, speed cameras could be nearing the end of the road - at least in England and Wales.

Michigan Cities thwart speed trap ban
Interesting secondary effect of a poor economy and municipal governments seeking revenue. I know that this is not related to specifically to cameras but I did not see a section for speed traps or fuzzy speed limits.

Pensacola, FL
In reviewing the traffic camera listing, I notice Pensacola, FL wasn't listed. Am I overlooking this? I know for certain that Pensacola have a number of traffic cameras. I don't know all of them because I don't live there, just frequent there often.

New redlight cameras in NYC
Found one the hard way. In Bronx on intersection of Fordham rd and Webster Ave., which prompt me to join this forum. I didn't even know that I was captured because these don't use flash in the daytime like the others in the past.

Formula not working?
I noticed yesterday that the speed camera alerts were going off when I exceeded the speed limit ... NOT when I exceeded the value put into the formula (+9 MPH). I wonder why?
The formula I used was Alex Krull's:
=IF(ISERR(FIND("Speed",C1)),C1,(LEFT(C1,FIND("Speed",C1)+9)&"@"&MID(C1,(FIND("Speed",C1))+6,2)+5&RIGHT(C1,LEN(C1)-(FIND("Speed",C1)+9))))

Sentinel effect?
My Garmin loaded with the latest camera file issues a warning as I approach the intersection of College St. NE and Martin Way E. in Lacey, Washington but I have yet to see the camera here. This location appears to have been erroneously added. Maybe someone mistook a traffic light sensor for the red light camera.
Palm Coast Florida Red Light Cams
Almost got a ticket from one of these infernal things in Palm Coast Florida. The road was recently paved and a passing shower made it nice and slick. Thankfully my POI Factory database gave me the heads up. Needless to say, at 50 mph and at the last second, the light decided to cycle. Thankfully no one was behind me as I hit the brakes and the ABS kicked in.
