Our company has HQ there in San Mateo. I read a local paper there last year they were complaining about the roads and that the state didn’t pony up the promised funds allocated for repairs. Revenue generated theft of citizens by traffic cameras. We survived quite well without traffic light cameras for many decades until the rip offs by government
trying to trick drivers into trap$.

We have a couple traffic light camera intersections in South San Francisco. All a trap to get revenue. People started avoiding them by using surrounding alternate streets. So the city changed nearby streets making them one-way to stop the avoidance. As in this instance, there were legal problems and the city was forced to refund millions of dollars for wrongful ticketing until the yellow light duration and other problems were rectified. Anywhere you see these cameras, it's about revenue and not about safety.
