[quote=wanttobuy]The effect on me is that I try all means to avoid camera monitored intersection just in case the yellow light change to red and I am not reacting fast enough to stop. If can’t avoid at all, I just slow down and hoping the light is red or will change to red before I approach. That way, I happily breathe out and stop. My worst nightmare is the light is green and no car in front of me, then I don’t known when and how fast it will change to yellow.[/quote]
You should not approach the intersection at speed higher than 25-30mph, which puts your breaking distance at 100ft or less. It should not be that hard to stop if you approach the intersection with the idea that yellow means stop if possible, not speed up.
On the other hand, whenever you get (and pay) a ticket you are doing a good deed by helping the local budget. I gave my $500 to the city of Poway few years back – rolling stop on red, caught on camera 🙂
