Ticket cameras

On April 18th the city of Des Moines, IA will add a speed camera at the intersection of 9th and Grand for people traveling south on 9th. There is a red light camera there now and in 2014 1,197 tickets were issued.
During a 7 month test period about 25,000 cars sped through that intersection at over 11mph in a 25 mph zone. Not bad for downtown.
The coordinates are -93.627480, 41.587364.

I just received a mail for a red light violation.

I went to the website and saw the pictures and video.

so the front car ahead of me which was an ambulance didn't break and just made a right turn at a red light.

Oldsmar and Kenneth City added to the list of cameras being removed in Pinellas County. Only a couple of Clearwater cameras are still operational.

Looks like most Arizona cameras are out of business, at least for the moment. Hopefully, they will stay that way.

Here is a useful website (only in French) with RLC and speed cameras locations: https://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/securite-transport/radars-photo-s...

If you look at this subsection of all discussions, there isn't much activity.

I spent more than a week in the GTA, and there were so many cameras, I pretty much said to myself, just don't run any red lights. To my knowledge, I didn't.

"It's rare for a state agency that is supposed to improve public safety to suggest that cities running red-light cameras may make the problem worse. But it just happened in Florida.

Jan 25 2016 --

A Florida without red light cameras may be a reality closer down the road than expected.

Nobody disputes that the technology is affordable, and accurate.

There seems to be a debate upon whether they are Constitutional, and merely revenue generators.

An interesting article about who supports speed cameras. I have often wondered if some of that happens on forums such as this one.

I am all for rlcs--they do not lie, and kinda stop the BS that people use to justify running lights. Again we can argue till we're blue in the face, I know of intersections where 4-5 cars blow the light after it's gone red, day in, day out, on my commute. I also know of ones where everyone for the most part now stops, since rlcs were installed.
