Guess they’re good at keeping body shops in business
Accidents at intersections in Houston doubled after the installation of red light cameras. But Mayor Bill White argued that the cameras’ presence prevented even more collisions and that the study proves the monitoring program is keeping drivers safe. That may be one of the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Accidents go up because they cut the Yellow light time from 5 seconds to 3 (typically) when they put the cameras in – revenue quotas must be met, you know.

Houston’s “only ones” have a real bad case of the dumb lately. Between this and the proposal to put cameras in apartment complexes and even *inside the apartments* I’m having a hard time understanding how it is that Houston remains a part of Texas.
I cede Houston to Louisiana. Buh bye, don’t let the door hit you in the hinder on the way out.
