Right on Tas. There is a degree of safety involved with the speed cameras AND the red light cameras but the manipulation of stop light timing does smell of cash cows.

That is the bottom line dcb.
I am not against cameras. They sure have tamed traffic on I-10. What I hate about it is people's over reaction to the signs and slowing down to 10-20 mph below posted speed. Shows to me that they don't know what the posted limit is. The red light cameras have made everyone "gun shy" about the intersections so we ALL slow down approaching them. Not good for the smooth flow of traffic or FE.
Nothing personal meant toward anyone in previous postings
