This light again.


I decided to investigate.


YEP Looks manipulated to me.

That light is whacky. As a driver/rider, you don't expect timing to be so erratic. That's dangerous.

You're right. The way they have it set up if I managed to stop in time I could have a car drive up my a**. I wish I still had a friend in the CHP. He retired. I'll talk to TLMA about it. I still know some of those guys. Also if someone got a red light ticket, DHS could be sued.

When they first installed red light cameras here they changed the amber light timing at at least one busy intersection so the light was only amber for around 1 second or less. This was in a 30mph zone. Nearly everyone (including me) got a ticket there the first time through, and I'm sure the county made tons of revenue. The only way not to be photoed going through the red was to slam on the brakes when the light turned amber. Making that amber timing so short created a very serious hazard. So many folks raised hell about it that they changed the amber timing back to a normal length of time. Ed
