The red light cameras actually do work! the accidents being refered to are rear end collisions where the leading vehicle panics and stops on yellow…but the second car is following too closely. Try driving on Bruce Watkins (71 hwy.) thru town. It takes idiots to a whole new level. Speed is the biggest problem. There was an independent citizens survey done in 2008 and the number one complaint among citizens regarding traffic safety was speed.
Control the speed……….Control the problem.

If they fix the outcome, why don’t we do what the citizens of Houston did, two brothers filed a petition to have the people vote, and surprise, the city had to get rid of them. Now the camera company wants their money back, but they may have to eat it, see;

Here is the story about the corruption that followed Tuesday when 4 American Traffic Solutions goons were sent to the Commissioners Meeting, to whine, cry, plead, and threaten. Best part is that KCPD was told to consult with ATS before releasing a new study……..that seems rather impartial, a bit like a student grading one’s own test. This is a must read: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/24/3389558/kc-police-officials-request-more.html to the corruption these systems and this Corporatism brings.

You are linked to the wrong KC Star Story, or that changed the URL on you. The story on the KCPD Study released this week is here: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/23/3387905/kc-police-study-suggests-red-light.html
