LETTER: Seattle red light camera experience should be a cautionary tale for Las Vegas
When I lived in Seattle, the city installed red-light cameras with much fanfare about how they would reduce traffic accidents. In reality, they proved a bonanza to the city’s treasury, racking up tens of thousands in fines for drivers not completely stopping at a red light before making a right turn. Otherwise, the cameras had no real effect on traffic.
The city of Seattle is, of course, very much anti-automobile. Let us not bring that philosophy to Las Vegas.
