How do you feel about red-light cameras?

Well I think the people that are complaining are the ones that don't follow the law or don't want to. Nothing personal. But it shouldn't be a big deal at all and people are coming up with all these "excuses" on why they shouldn't be there.

we have a few, not sure i like them.

if you don't break the law, they won't bother you

We have quite a few of them in this country. It basically comes down to the fact that if you don't break the law by going through a red light, then you don't get a ticket! You have to cross the line THREE SECONDS AFTER the light has turned red for the camera to be activated!

Red light runners are one of the biggest causes of accidents. I didn't read the article, but saw on CNN web site a headline, light runner kills mom of 11. I've never lived anywhere that had the cameras. I don't agree with them changing the timing on the lights. I guess I could see where that would be a problem also-people locking up the brakes, I'd probably do the same lol. Where I used to live they installed these white lights on the bottom of the green part of the light. When the light turns red, the extra light will light up, so the officer can see it at any angle and will know if someone ran the red light. That seemed to work pretty good.

we have them but i dont think they use them i see people running the red lights all the time but it dosnt stop so why have them if they dont prevent any thing i think it is a waist of our money.

they ae an apsolute pain it dosnt stop the bad drivers it just slows down traffic and gives revenue to the goverment ive never been caught going through one im a good driver but i see other jamming on there brakes because they see a camera and other crash into them i see them put a speed camera at the bottom of a hill and catch hundreds of people then a stolen car goes through and he gets away very silly idea its only getting revenue

I think it is a good thing.My town really needs them because some intersections are getting too dangerous and people are driving too crazy

I dunno where your from but we have red light camera's alot. I honestly dont see anything wrong with red light camera's, And honestly if you are going fast enough when you are approaching lights that if it was to change then you wouldnt be able to stop in time or you do stop but cause an accident then you were going way to fast! Accidents happen even if you dont have red light camera's installed! So what you saying is you think it is ok for people to run a red light and get away with it not only does it put others at risk of being seriously injured or worse killed by running a red light but it is just stupid and these people should be stopped i dont believe it is all just about making money!

I think this is a very smart thing to do. Finally when someone get into an accident because the guilty party went through a red light, it won't be his word against the other person's. There will be some evidence as to what happened. Good luck to all those people who like to break the laws!

I don't really know if I think it is unfair, because you are breaking the law if you run a red light and people running red lights DO kill people sometimes-- but I think it may just be a step in the wrong direction. Next they will have cameras for catching you speeding. Then it will move to cameras catching you smoking in non-smoking areas. You get what I'm saying? I think if we install cameras for every little thing the United States will end up like a police state. I'm not saying they will actually do that, or have plans to do that, but I'm saying it seems like a direction they could take eventually!

I think they're a bit over the top, but people should not be running the lights anyway.

well, i've seen them, but those are supposed to be put in place to make drivers follow the rules. if you say a yellow light you can go through if at the speed you're going (taken its not past the speed limit) you would cause an accident or wouldn't be able to properly stop. i believe that they do work , but drivers are just stupid in general. here, i have seen so many dumb drivers and i thank god my husband had great driving skills or he would have gotten hit by one of these guys. if people would just read the manuel, follow the rules laws and learn how to drive, we wouldn't need things like this.

not good

in my town we have them everywear i agree with you 100% they arent helping at all and the worst part is if you let someone borrow you car you get fided thats bull i believe that are notting but trobble

We have these. I don't have a problem with them because if you are driving like you are supposed to then you wont have any problems.

I think no one is above the law, therefor this is a good idea but I do agree that it would cause more accidents. After a while people would get used to the lights and calm down.

I don't like it ,I want to keep my freedom,red-light cameras will agains it.why not cut it?

listen the only thing thats matters is that i love you and have a good day ok

I think its a good idea, I have seen lots of drivers try to run red lights and there is no excuse for it.
