Dallas: longer yellows, no RLC profit.

Dallas increased yellow light timing and now it's cameras are being
pulled for lack of profit. The article is full of pro-RLC spin and
saying yellows are for 'motorists to beat a red', but the message is
clear... longer yellow = much less red light running = no camera profit.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...1.468120d.html

Dallas City Hall has idled more than one-fourth of the 62 cameras that
monitor busy intersections because many of them are failing to generate
enough red-light-running fines to justify their operational costs,
according to city documents.

<...>

Dallas has lengthened yellow-light intervals on 12 of its 62 monitored
traffic signals

<...>

--------------

The yellow lights were increased in time after dallas got caught
profiting from short yellow signals:

Note, the speed limit of 30mph, same as Chicago, and Chicago's yellows
are even shorter than those in Dallas before they were made longer.

What's even more pathetic is the number of people in the Fark thread
that still support these things.

certitude == danger:
<http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.co...olution-to-tra
ffic-jams/> they should be randomly short.

besides, dallas is full of texicans. reminds me of a time i was at
ohara airport, out a terminal one. Announcement comes on "Flight XYZ
from DFW unloading at gate 12 with 650 passangers." That's an awful lot
of passangers, so i went over to gate 12 to take a look. And out came
all these little three foot tall people with giant cowboy hats. So i
asked the gate attendant what was up and she 'splained that they were
texicans with the **** squeezed out. takes less space.

I don't care if it is done for profit. Red light runners are criminals
and i like to see them pay. Stop being a coddler.

Nobody's being a coddler, we just want the gov't to obey the laws.

However, you're still a douche.

Increased yellow timing makes LESS RED LIGHT RUNNERS. What part of
that don't you understand? You, and everyone else, should be all for
that.
