SEWilco's Journal: Speeders' Red Light

At least two California cities are literally giving a red light to speeders. The Ventura County city of Thousand Oaks in 2000 installed a traffic speed detector which turns a traffic signal red when a speeder is approaching. Pleasanton has also installed one now, giving speeders at least a 10 second red light. The Pleasanton light will give the red light only in the direction of the speeder, allowing traffic in the opposite direction to continue. The Pleasanton traffic chief has been watching the operation of the Thousand Oaks device, where he used to work. Pleasanton considered a red-light camera but that project stalled in 2002.

Of course...

They could simply RUN the red light... but that's more dangerous if you're not familiar with the area, and what this light is.

I've actually taken to going the posted speed limit or at a max, 5mph above, lately. It feels right on most roads.
