How About A Compromise On The Red Light Camera's......

[frazzled]

5. You can't drive in Chicago without making a left turn on the yellow (or even red)

There are intersections with 15 cars waiting to make a left turn (with no arrow). Oncoming traffic means that at most one, or perhaps two cars will make it through, and then only on the yellow to red. The other 13 cars have to wait 4 more light cycles before getting through, by which time 15 more cars are backed up.

I say, let's put in left-turn arrows at all these difficult intersections ... and there are many, many of them ... and then we can discuss red-light cameras.

But the real reason to get rid of the cameras is that there really is no due process with them. Cameras do lie. (Believe me: my husband had a red-light ticket reversed when he showed the video to the judge, who agreed that the state had not brought proper evidence).
