Government is about control and power. It is not about safety, responsibility or common sense.
While this study was done in Great Britain, it is an indicator that "red light camera's" kill Americans as well.
2) The Impact of Red Light Cameras (Photo-Red Enforcement) on Crashes in Virginia,Virginia Transportation Research Council, June 2007
Quotes from the study:
“After cameras were installed, rear-end crashes increased for the entire six-jurisdiction study area… After controlling for time and traffic volume at each intersection, rear-end crash rates increased by an average of 27% for the entire study area.”
“After cameras were installed, total crashes increased.”
How did the camera affect safety in Britain?
"Road deaths dropped 14 per cent in three months while speed cameras were being axed or switched off.
Fatalities over a year fell 21 per cent to a record low, Department for Transport figures show."
Government is a killer, not with good intentions.
