Red light cameras do not reduce accidents. They are a money grab.

I said nothing about red light cameras.

I’ve trained myself to count to 5 in my head on red light right turns. A couple $100 tickets for rolling ‘stop’ sucked.


Do you count up or down? Prolly more fun to count down from 5 to 1....zero... lift off, that way you can pretend you're in a spaceship.

Exactly. I just assumed that, if no one was coming, you just had to slow down. RFDC is right that it makes no sense--red means stop, bitch--but I never saw anyone do it when the way was clear.

Also agree with JORR. Turning on red causes lots of problems.



It's not just a matter of coming to a full stop, before making the right hand turn. You also must yield the right of way to oncoming traffic in the right lane. It's incredible how many dumbasses fail to yield the right of way and just think they can go, after making the stop. then they turn right in front of a vehicle coming in the right lane, that has to hit the brakes and/or change lanes, to avoid an accident. Make a full stop, yield to oncoming vehicles in the right lane and THEN make the right turn.

"Sometimes local governments actually decrease yellow-light timing to catch more red-light runners, a result of the perverse financial incentives that tempt government officials and camera companies."

And actually raise the amount of accidents in the intersection. You don't even need data on this(but there is), common sense is enough. Yet it's ignored right here in Chicago. I suppose you could say there's blood on politicians' hands.
