They are on the lights, but I don't think they actually do anything.

Those aren’t traffic cameras they are cameras to operate the lights instead of just inductive sensors in the ground. The cameras can see what’s there and relays the data to the controller to react accordingly to minimize traffic, idle time, or missed reads from the ground sensors motorcycles and bicycles.

If that's what they do, they really don't work.

The cameras work just fine, the problem is whatever someone chose to program to respond to that data. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Those are usually motion sensors, not red light cams. Some are cameras but no town wants to be the first to turn them on because they're worried it'll damage the local economy.
