Hills and Heights blog has a post about the ‘new red light cameras’ that the City of Richmond will be installing at various busy intersections. Although nothing is confirmed, there is some speculation that these will go on some of the most ticketed intersections, including several on Belvidere.
There’s been a lot of debate surrounding these. Civil libertarians worry about ‘Big Brother’, but police say that these will free up their resources and allow them to concentrate on other crime matters.
Hope these lights aren’t as crooked as the ones in Washington, D.C. They shorten the yellow light and catch you in the middle of the intersection. I speak from experience. They suck.
