Maybe I should add that I do NOT trust the city of Dallas at all, and believe this is mainly a revenue-generator for them. I just want people to stop running the damn red lights.

“I just want people to stop running the damn red lights.”

Perhaps having a cop there to hand out tickets might accomplish this. BUT having a cop do that doesn’t provide the same revenue. Its not about safety or the children. Its about money.

Ding, ding, ding!
If it were really about safety, they would install visual countdown timers at the lights. I have seen these in other countries. Next to each light cluster, there is a visual timer that counts down the time remaining on each colour so you know how much time is left for each colour signal.
