Cameras are great enforcers of traffic laws. People who tend to disobey traffic lights either change their behavior to avoid a ticket (the best outcome)or pay for their risky behavior. I imagine that only a small percentage of tickets are generated due to defective cameras. The revenues the cameras generate are a benefit, of course, but the greater benefit is in improved driver behaviors.

I know the city pay the owners of the cameras big bucks to use it.
have you seen anyone getting a ticket?
My dad got a ticket and my hubby got one. He thinks he may have a second one coming for being past the white line on the right-turn lane.

We're all just so used to pulling further forward than the lines because when you are actually going to turn right - you usually cannot see if it clear to turn without pulling a bit forward.

I was told by the Orland Park police that creeping forward is OK as long as you fully stop behind the white line for 3 seconds before creeping forward.

These things are making me not want to pull into the intersection for left turns or go past the white line for right turns.

I avoid right turns on red, I exit before the cam or after, I seen the cam flahsing too much on right turns by walmarts and other shopping centers, some flash without any cars present.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Taurus

Try to keep your energy a little bit more under control. If you scatter in all directions, you'll end up hot and bothered. Mars tends to rev up your engine, but an awkward aspect to Saturn will make everything go in stops and starts. As soon as you try to shift into higher gear you meet immovable objects at the moment, so the solution is to slow down. There are wonderful, uplifting influences hanging around as well as tricky ones, so just hang in there.
