6 Cities That Were Caught Shortening Yellow Light Times For Profit
Hi Guys!!
I hope you're OK.
"Some local governments have ignored the safety benefit of increasing the yellow light time and decided to install red-light cameras, shorten the yellow light duration, and collect the profits instead."
this is rapidly becoming my pet peeve! They just installed one in my town.
Speak up, citizens! Don't wait till they mail you a ticket!

After living in germany for a total of 9 years, I like the photo tickets. I hate feeling like a 3rd grader in trouble when the cop comes to the door. you can also avoid it a bit better... but shortening the time just to raise profits?? that's as bad as sending my kindergartner home with a catalog to try and sell stuff to raise money for the school. Just raise the sales tax a penny and spend it correctly, and leave me alone!
I got a photo ticket in Germany for speeding in a construction zone. The date didn't seem right, so I checked my calendar and I had been at Tank Gunnery exercises at Grafenwoer. My wife was the culprit. Of course, I paid the ticket, 100 marks as I recall.

I've got an even better idea; lower the sales tax a penny, spend the remaining revenue correctly, and leave me alone!

Like that's gonna happen, either way.
I don't mind paying, just as long as its spent wisely... too bad it never will.... would love to pay less, but could handle a wee bit more if it stopped the neverending other ways to make money for the gov't.
Either way, too much greed and waste as it is now..
