Here's a list of all of the new cameras and some info on a new type and where they are as well.

PHASE I & II RED LIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERA LOCATIONS

The Phase II cameras are digital. They will send you a ticket with a picture but you will also be given an ID number where you can go online and watch yourself running the red light. They look like glass bubbles and will not flash as you go through the light. There was an article in the Sun paper.

Ouch. VA drops them July 1st. Tough break MD.

Why a tough break??? Red light cameras flat work, in fact just the threat of them reduces red light running, which can't be a bad thing can it? We're not talking about photo rader here.

I have no fear of red light cameras.
Too many people speed up through red lights or just don't care.

It's the speeding cameras I don't like. :mad

I agree. I've had a few expiriences of barely missing the light, but i've never run them on purpose - which is more than i can say for some others. People who pull that stuff intentionally should get caught. Id be saying a different story if this was speeding cameras however.

Actually, at some intersections in VA the number of accidents has increased since the placement of red light cameras.

It doesn't surprise me. People are running a red light and see a flash. You always see them turn around to look for the camera. Brilliant! Now they are speeding, running a red light and looking the wrong way. :rolleyes

I used to walk across an intersection with a red light camera every morning. I would see someone run that light virtually every day. The camera made NO difference. What did make a difference was they switched the crosswalk signal to one of the ones that counts down. After they installed that, I RARELY saw another person run that light.

So RIch you have never been in Columbia on Broken Land PKWY at one of those lights and had some A hole slam his brakes on in front of you and almost rear end him because the light turned yellow while he was almost crossing the intersection to begin with.. I have at least 30 times I would like to see the figures on how much decline they see in accidents at these red light camera spots. I bet they see an Increase in Fender Benders!!

That was the impetus for them being outlawed in Virginia...which I don't totally agree with. I don't like the idea of cameras (red-light or speeding), but I hate people who run lights a *lot* more. I'm confused why they are making red-light cameras illegal here, based upon civil liberties, but nothing has been said of speed cameras. Maybe I just haven't heard about them because we don't have any (that I know of) to begin with?

I don't run redlights so it doesn't bother me but is it true that they have cameras that calculate the time it took you to get from one light to the other, and can tell if you were speeding? Don't know if it's true but I heard about it on the internet somewhere.

Have the communities that instituted red light cameras tried increasing the duration of the yellow lights? Have they tried increasing the time between when the light turns red on one side of the intersection and the light turns green on the other side? The fact is that communities see this as a revenue source. Lockheed Martin is the main supplier of these camera systems in the country and they don't just get a flat fee. They get a portion of the revenue generated from the tickets. That seems pretty shady to me. There was a big fuss over the red light cameras in San Diego and they pulled the plug on the program. They found that the yellow lights had actually been shortened and the sensors were misplaced in order to issue more tickets. And the decision on which intersections got the cameras wasn't even based on public safety. They based it on where they could make the most money.

Maybe it'll be different in MD and everyone won't be viewing it primarily as a money making proposition.

That is my biggest complaint about red-light cams, their primary purpose is to make money rather than make people safer. In addition to red-light cameras, yellow lights should probably be lengthened slightly or a delayed green used.

Let's see some evidence to support that claim?? I disagree, as do many others.

Definetly,

The yellow lights on the lights with cameras are ALOT shorter then those without the change from yellow to red is almost instantaniously on the ones with cameras.. I am not one for running red lights and do believe redlight runners should be ticketed however there has to be a better way to do it.. just like speeding if you get caught by a cop tough luck pay the fine but I think cameras cause way more accidents then they prevent

Yeah, longer yellows are so nice. In Milwaukee, the yellow lights last twice as long as they do in Tysons. Ive been caught off guard a couple times by the short yellow lights around here.
