They are banned for a good reason, which should be obvious to everyone here so I am not going to say what it is
Giving cops more surveillance tools is bad, actually. Plus, some cities with red light cameras actually make the light timings more dangerous to generate revenue by shortening yellows for example.
Building non-car infrastructure and making what car infrastructure there is narrower and less straight to force cars to slow down is a much better way to reduce the danger of cars, but that costs a lot more than putting in revenue-generating surveillance cameras all over the place.
What are the good reasons?
I can easily imagine all the bad reasons (like "waah waah I'm a spoilt little man-baby") but the good ones eludes me.
i'm guessing something to do with cops and/or racism. that's a good bet for why stuff is the way it is in the US
Nah, it's probably because "I'll get too many tickets otherwise".
We could use them in my country. People don’t give a fuck and go at top speed just to get groceries
Eh I disagree. In my city, speeding cameras were recently introduced in school zones, and there has been a noticable increase in people complying with the limits, assuming after receiving a ticket in the mail. I'd appreciate seeing red light cameras too: it is normal to see people fly through intersections after the light for traffic has turned green for the other road. It's incredibly dangerous, and multiple people have been hit and killed while crossing the street. This method would also mean less interactions with police since the tickets are mailed instead of pulling people over. I'm willing to have my mind changed, but aside from demanding more police (very bad) I don't see a way these traffic violations with real world impacts on people's ability to continue living are resolved
Who/what is banned?
Speed cameras and red light cameras
Ah thank you
speed cameras & red light cameras
