they've been installed for a number of years at high collision intersections + have warning signs. They seem to be tuned so you *really* have to run the red light to get a ticket. If they cut down collisions (which city data seems to support), then I don't mind them... my fear is I'll get a photo in the mail sometime I'm in the intersection still waiting for it to clear to make a left turn (perfectly legal)... lots of people enter intersections very late around here + amble through... I would just contest it though...
I agree with Noel, that the roads would be safer if police weeded out poor drivers rather than just speeders per se... I've probably been lucky, but I've never got a speeding ticket (even though I've gone through a trap at 20 km/h over)... around here, it seems as long as one is going with the flow, they have bigger fish to fry... percentile based... cameras that grab absolute speed + ticket relatively minor infractions are imho just a cash grab...
