And to take the "red light cameras" a bit further, some areas in Scottsdale, AZ now have cameras, that are not meant to catch red light runners, but to catch speeders. Long sections of road, known for speeds above the posted limit, are now getting some of these cameras that are to catch speeders above a predetermined rate above the posted speed limit.
There is also talk, serious talk, of putting "speed cameras" on some sections of freeway that are known to have cars going above the speed limit...some going above 200mph. The one section in particular that the DOT is thinking about doing this on has also had an excessive amount of deaths and injuries as a result of speed and accidents.
