These cameras produce profits ONLY when the posted speed limits and yellow light intervals are deliberately set improperly in ways that cause more tickets to be issued and which decrease safety. If main road posted speed limits were set for maximum safety at the 85th percentile speed of free flowing traffic under good conditions, the cameras would lose money and not be used. If the yellow intervals on lights were set for maximum safety by being timed for those actual 85th percentile approach speeds, the cameras would lose money and not be used. Ticket cameras require improper and less safe engineering to produce profits, so safety would be improved by using the correct engineering factors, instead of by using predatory cameras. See the science on both issues on our website and if it makes sense to you - go to the meeting and/or call your council reps to insist that the use of cameras be ended as soon as possible. Also please note that the money to Redflex goes to Arizona leaving the local economy forever, and part of that revenue then goes to Australia, leaving the US economy forever. Is this a smart thing to do in today's economy? Many think no. James C. Walker, National Motorists Association, www.motorists.org, Ann Arbor, MI - James Walker Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:51:14 +0100
