Have you ever driven through an unfamiliar area, finished a vacation, or come back from a business trip, and then weeks later, received a ticket in the mail? Red light and stop sign cameras can be a pain, but HowStuffWorks.com gives the low-down on these pieces of roadway technology: bit.ly/Si8hf2
"While the logic is straight-forward -- fewer violations, fewer accidents, and fewer deaths -- detractors say the use of the cameras can move away from the original safety intent and shade into a revenue-generating tactic for the 500-plus cities across the country now using them. Indeed, one study from the University of Southern Florida College of Public Health claims the cameras can, under specific circumstances, increase the number of accidents and possible related fatalities."
