Frequently asked Question on Red Light Cameras

Q: Isn't the main purpose of RLC's are to make money?
A: Revenue is generated by drivers who continue to run red lights. Ideally, ticket revenue should decline overtime as the cameras succeed in deterring would-be red light runners.

For most drivers, the intentions of red light cameras remain debatable. Some say the red light cameras aren't as innocent as they may seem. Drivers argue that yellow lights aren't long enough therefore making it look like they ran a red light. They say some cities may be doing that on purpose to increase the likelihood of a motorist running a red light and receiving a fine. Other drivers feel safer now that the cameras are in place and don't mind the tickets.
