Doesn't get more obvious than this!
Batavia IL is considering adding Red Light Cams. The mayor spent an hour watching a busy intersection in town. He refers to that intersection as a potential "Cash Cow". His quote is below:
"Thinking I knew where Batavia's cash cow was, I went out to the intersection and witnessed 43 right-turn-on-red violations," the mayor said.

Driving too fast or too slow?
Erik Bonstrom considers himself a safe driver. So imagine his surprise when he was stopped along Route 50 Tuesday evening in Prince George's County, Md., -- for going too slow.

On a trip to Cape May, NJ last week I saw what I thought could be a speed camera (Pitsburgh Ave) and was wondering if anyone knew if it was.

new camera
Saw the signs go up at this intersection, no cameras yet, but sure they'll go in soon. Lake Street (Route 20) & IL RT 53 in Addison, IL.
Google map coordinates: 41.950339,-88.031795
Can this be added yet or do you have to wait until a camera goes in?

Korea Speed and Red Light Camera Locations
Here in Korea the Speed and Red Light Camera's are everywhere. Has anyone come across a POI file or a database with the Lat/Long? If not I'll start collecting the locations and build one.
If someone has found a file, please let me know the link or location.

Daily Herald Articles on Red Light Cameras
The Daily Herald, www.dailyherald.com, did a series of articles on red light cameras last week. Since we can't post the articles, here's a link to the series.
http://www.dailyherald.com/search/?tag=1263
It runs over several days and is very informative. I wish I'd seen the series, before my daughter got a citation for a rolling right turn in Lombard, IL.

Speed traps include officer locations?
I was wondering if the Red Light Camera/Speed trap locations included locations that officers hide out frequently to catch speeders. This is something I really would like to have for my gps. It would help to know before I pass an on ramp that an officer frequents that spot to catch speeders so I can slow down. Does this site have any poi files like that? Thanks!

Speed Cameras
I been meaning to ask this for a while now. I open the Speed Camera CSV file in Excel and do a find and replace to add a '@' to the speed. This gives me an alert if I'm driving faster than the camera's setting. I've noticed that there are several entries for Mobile Speed Cameras and I wonder why they are included?

I think this was covered but i cant find it.
When you download the red light camera file there are now two red light camera files in side. One is a beta. My question is. Do you install both files or just one.

Traffic Camera Story
A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He
figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even
though he knew that he was not speeding...
Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same

What is and what is NOT a red light camera
I'm a new member and I've just downloaded the red light camera list. For all of you who put work into this list my thanks.
HOWEVER, it seems some folks do not understand the difference between a red light camera and a ES (emergency services) vehicle identifying camera. I found two false alerts in my neighborhood, and I was bonked by another this weekend downtown.

Village may dump device after seeing no reduction in accidents
Bucking a national trend of putting in cameras to catch red-light runners, northwest suburban Schaumburg may get rid of its only red-light camera system because it doesn't do enough to prevent accidents.
"I think the camera should go," said Schaumburg Village President Al Larson. "It wasn't doing what it was supposed to do."

Wonder how this got caught. If it had not been caught, many drivers would have paid for an illegitimate fine.

A police officer's perspective on red light cameras
One interesting point I extrapolated from the below article was that as a consequence of fewer traffic stops due to red light running, it would be somewhat easier to get away with DUI.
