San Jose

Just as a small counterpoint.

I lived in Albuquerque when they put in their cameras and then were forced to remove them later. The main problem was that they lowered the yellow light duration at the intersections with cameras. Which ended up making the already dangerous intersections have even more accidents.

Then they added speed cameras that were reporting false positives. It turns out that that 80% of the fins went to the company managing the cameras and had a big incentive to create tickets.

When there was just a sign that shows your speed and the posted speeds, most drivers slow down. It all depends on how they work. A lot of the times cameras don't really lower speeding, it just is another way for someone to leech off of public funds.

It's a very complicated issue.
