What is it? CXLV

Hey you guys,

How about doing a subject change so that those of us NOT interested in other than direct answers to Robs photo questions/answers don't have to wander through all this.

It's not hard to do. Honest!

Please????

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

In which case they'll shorten the yellow time to trick you into running it.

And if everyone did that, they'd reduce the limits until people didn't.

Here in the US, the speed limit is the legal maximum but the moral minimum.

Then either the light was malfunctioning, mistimed or the pickup driver lied. A red-light camera might have told you which it was; not much else; the woman would be as dead.

ROTFL. A libertarian PROSECUTOR? A libertarian who supports traffic laws? I think you know not the meaning of that word.

And if everyone kept on doing that, the Government would be forced to see sense, or risk crippling the economy (and being voted out of office at the next General Election).

You have a strange definition of morality. :-)

Which means that it *is* still a video camera -- just that the image is processed by a machine, looking for changes in specific zones. And I'll bet that there is also provision for actually viewing what they are showing, in case of things not changing for too long a period, which might indicate a serious traffic jam, or an accident.

Enjoy, DoN.

I based my original post on info from an article on the detectors in which they state:

"Motorists have been noticing an increasing number of intersections where camera-like devices have been mounted pointing down at traffic. The units which are not really cameras and do not video anything are highly sensitive optic detectors used to control the traffic signals."

They probably could just switch the software and use them to see the traffic but it sounds like they aren't set up for that presently.

vehicles on the road. It's actually pretty close to a VW Microbus or any number of vans, none of which have a particularly shiny safety record.

Hell, horse drawn vehicles occasionally suffered fatal accidents, and there you have not only the driver's instinct for self-preservation in play but also that of the horse.
