Reply to comment by fireball_jones in Eversource CEO asks Biden to take emergency action on New England natural gas supply by OmarLittleFinger

iirc speed cameras can increase fatalities by encouraging municipalities to reduce yellow light durations in order to increase revenue by making it harder to stop before the light turns red, increasing the chances of people running red lights (which means more ticketa which means $$$) and/or slamming on the brakes and getting rear-ended

I agree red light cameras are bad. Heck, red lights period are bad, which is why more intersections are switching to rotaries.
