We have cameras at some intersections around Atlanta. They advised everyone in the newspaper where they are. Getting through the intersection on the red is epidemic around here .. it's high time someone did something. The caution lights are long enough... then 4-5 more cars will go through on the red.

Where were the police? Couldn't they be more agressive?

In the St Louis area (Arnold qualifies), a yellow light means speed up, not caution. Drivers see a yellow light from a block away and speed up to get to and through the intersection.

I moved here in '78. About a month after we moved here, I was driving with one of my neighbors to a football game. The light ahead of me (about 3/4 block) turned yellow, I braked and my passenger started yelling at me.. what the hell are you doing... etc etc.
