Picture This: Red Means Stop!
When motorists encounter traffic cameras at intersections throughout Los Angeles County they probably believe that the cameras are targeting blatant, reckless runners of red lights. That might have been the original intention of red light cameras but they are ensnaring violators of a different kind: drivers making rolling right turns on red lights. The L.A. Times found that in Los Angeles, officials estimate that 80% of red light camera tickets go not to those running through intersections but to drivers making rolling right turns. The right-turn violators drive tickets and revenue in L.A. and at least half a dozen others across the country that employ intersection cameras. Are safety concerns at stake when right turn drivers are targeted or there is a greater revenue motivation in play?
