We have the red light cameras here in Mesa Az. I think they are great! Our claim to fame is that we are second in the nation for red light runners, second only to Miami Dade. I live less than a mile from Mesa's most dangerous intersection related to wrecks, and red light running. The camera snaps your picture from the front to get your smiling face, then snaps your picture from the rear to get your license #, then you get the ticket in the mail in about 2 weeks. Cost about $125.00 plus court cost.The cameras are definitely a deterrent for the runners. I wish we had the cameras at every major intersection in the city, then maybe the auto insurance rates would drop from some of the highest in the nation to more reasonable rates.
