I think they should make them slightly lenient

In Philadelphia along Roosevelt Blvd are 3 that were listed as the most deadliest intersections in America. The cameras - and knowledge that they were there - have reduced the number of accidents at these intersections, along with the claim that not a single t-bone accident or pedestrian death has occurred at these intersections since the cameras were installed (http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/opinion/letters/philadelphias-red-light-cameras-save-lives-642231/).

No one like Big Brother watching them. But it's hard to argue with the fact that it works, AND violators can provide money to fund other projects.

Mike,
No doubt that it works...when the playing field is level. Norristown will look for any way imaginable to put a "spin" on things and find a way to have others pay for their incompetence. It is yet another way for the kangaroo courts to charge you as guilty before being proven innocent. I'm ok with Big Brother watching me as long as he doesn't have his own agenda.

Norristown needs to worry about the crime/theves/and the dam kids stealing everything then red light camera. All this money we pay in norristown not to be safe or be at work and people are robbing your home and nothing is done is crazy. Let's get the real stuff together Norristown. Always worried about taking money then using it for the right things. Maybe a new judge on the west end. New cops instead of the ones who think there ramboo and the badge means they can do what ever u want. Let's start there.

I agree with dina but also belive the camra are i good ideal

I voted yes because I have almost been hit four times this year by cars running red lights. Hamilton and Main has several cars running the red light as does DeKalb and Marshall just to name two. Maybe if they know "Big Brother" is watching them they'll stop for the red and I'm not talking about yellow slippers by, my light was green and I always wait for the other lanes to stop before I pull out or i would have been broadsided.

Begin with Main and Markley.

How about ticketing the countless people that cross against the light on Main St?

This is just a very lazy way of raising revenue. It has absolutely zero to do with safety.

What the camera supporters won't tell you is that Philadelphia police data says the camera program there RAISED accident rates, both when they were new in 2005 and continuing through last fall after several years of operations. Oh, and guess which police agency was NOT invited to testify at a House hearing last fall about the cameras, the hearing where all the agencies in the $45 million dollar revenue stream from the cameras were invited to testify? I know, I know, that is a HARD question to answer. RIGHT. At the hearing, Philadelphia officials seemed very proud the program was able to reduce violations by about 50% after one year. In almost every case, red light violations can be reduced by 60% to 90% in ONE DAY with safer, longer yellow intervals, without the need to pick the pockets of drivers.
See our website for the research on how to engineer intersections for more safety at very low costs. Unfortunately, engineering for safety is not profitable, so many cities prefer to use predatory red light camera cash registers.
If Norristown officials value ticket revenue above safety, hang on to your wallets.

I do not trust small municipalities to administer a program like this

these red light cameras are a total waste of money. they were a huge disaster in LA:

I never got a ticket, but I the cameras were a total hazard because people slam on their brakes when they see them. there is also no way for the camera to tell whether youre making a legal right hand turn when they go off.

They keep bringing up main n markley accidents only happens from one way.Why don't they just put a display up like other towns saying traffic light is coming up ahead on danhower bridge coming into Norristown.
