Critics of the program say it's an effort by the city to raise money. The Police Department says the goal is safety. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Because as we all know, it's lots safer to slam on your brakes and be rear-ended by the latte-sipping cell-phone-talking no-attention-paying soccer mom in the Hummer behind you than to run the light and get out of her way.

an added tool for us to try to change drivers' behavior and operate their vehicles more safety Sure, thats why the cities always shave a few seconds off the yellow lights at these red light cams intersections...its for the "children".

Where is a list of all the sites?

As long as the camera works properly, fine by me. Sic 'em. Folks don't have a right to break traffic laws with impunity.

used to have red light cameras here too.
then, just as they were breaking even and actually
making money even, it was decided that they were
illegal. so they were shut down..... sigh...

I saw this on the 10pm news last night. There are more intersections with cameras than are mentioned in this article. Watch out!

Yes, it is a very handy website.
My dear husband beat a red light ticket using what he learned from that website. :-)
To: Xenalyte
They'd make more money with a red light district camera.

Wonder if Houston will do what Phoenix did, that is to shorten the yellow light interval, which trips the camera sooner to create more revenue.
