[quote=Cube]I noticed the one at Community and Scripps Poway Parkway had a cover over it. Kinda freaked me out.
I’ve seen more people drive dangerously erraticly as a result of red light cameras than I’ve seen without.
I didn’t fully appreciate the cover over it until I was stopped at the light. Maybe for people who drive the road all the time will come to recoginze it as disabled and use judgement accordingly. I’m not one to run red lights on purpose, but I will likely still be among those who will stop dangerously quickly there to avoid any risk of a stale yellow going red. Just my instinct these days when I see those extra poles, and flashs, and high contrast borders around the lights.[/quote]
my suspicion is this is purely a financial decision. At $500 a pop, these tickets are much more likely to be contested. With lawyer fees only at $100, it is very simple math. But they can’t lower the price of the ticket because it has to cover for the monitoring service fee. Therefore, they are more trouble than their worth.
