removing (some) red light cameras in schaumburg

..maybe, the town president looked at the numbers and only 15 out of 800 collisions were caused by traffic signal violations, cameras are not improving safety as intended and are viewed as harassing citizens and visitors: [Schaumburg, IL] Red-light camera loses backer | POI Factory
