    Default Bwahahahahaa...Redlight camera conundrum

    Money quote: "We did not anticipate having such success so early with the number of people not running red lights," said Zaida Basora, Dallas' assistant director of public works and transportation.

    Translation: Dammit, where we gonna get that money now?

    I'm surprised more people don't notice them when they're coming into an intersection. Those giant-ass camera boxes look out place and they're hard to miss - IMHO. But I guess you'd have to know what's going on to realize that's what it is... hmmmm.

    Garland already had to let the person in charge of the red light camera operations go, due to lack of revenue. They are also having to take about half of them out because of the expenses from the company that owns them.

    They originally talked about the safety aspect, but the latest articles make it apparent that the soul purpose was for increased revenue.

    They will just shorten the duration of the yellows. That is what's happened in other cities.

    No shit! Especially the ones at Park or whatever that road is that goes under the DNT/PGBT interchange! Several times when I'm getting on the DNT going north from GB, that damn red light camera flash blinds the hell out of me as I'm going into the ramp at night!
