Having realistic speed limits and normal traffic laws and then enforcing them with cameras (within reason) is fine by me. For example, if they just leave the speed limit at 30 and camera-ticket anyone going 40 or 45 and up, then things make much more sense.The thing is, the cameras have to be perfect. I'm not against red-light cameras, for example, except it has to be definite that they would not photograph in certain situations (i.e. a traffic director is present, an emergency vehicle is present, etc.) Also, there should be a half-second or so grace period after the light turns red (like I think right now it's 0.3 seconds in NYC). One solution to the emergency vehicle problem is that emergency vehicles get control over lights they are approaching to automatically turn them green, including green turn arrows where appropriate. I've seen that done in Suffolk County. |
