The city even has a budget line item for this revenue. Bunch of crooks.

I am not an expert in this field[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] But, CalTrans can make standards. But, if it's not a state highway, they do not have control over the setting the timers on signals. The appropriate city/county public works dept. has that jurisdiction.

They have their money so all is good with the city. That's the bottom line[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
Funny you mention rear ends[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] My buddy had that happen last week[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Lady, driving a new malibu, slammed on her brakes to stop at a yellow light[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] He's driving his 3/4 ton Dodge[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] hit's her doing about 5 mph. Both vehicles sustain damage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]As it stands, my buddy could be found at fault for: following to closely and unsafe speed. It doesn't matter lady made an unsafe stop. Here, if you rear end someone, outside of weird circumstances, the rear ender, will be found at fault.

rearenders are pretty much the same everywhere. pretty hard to get off the hook for one. and she stopped for an amber....even more reason she'd get praised in the eyes of the law.

well, let's do an anatomy lesson here. the ****** hangs down low=south. big jim is up top=north. hmmmmm, nope, MD yer wrong. the scotes are down south and the dincks are up north![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] wow, you guys are really wound up about this red light issue. those are ugly , steep fines and some very unethical tactics from what you described creator. that'd PO me too. BUT, both mine i got here were deserved and very stupid on my part.

traffic court here is SO stacked against you. you're guilty for showing up. the judges basically don't want people tieing up court time with traffic disputes, so yer guilty. and often they'll increase your fine substantially if you have priors. BUT go and axe-murder someone, or drive impaired and take out a family, and you won't get convicted. of course, you'd have a lawyer for those kinda situations, so the legal system likes to make sure they butter each other, but not the unrepresented guy.

MD, did you say OFC wears panties?

Some of the intersections in Fresno have signs for "Red Light Violations $370" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

They had signs up that said the fine was $270. Now they have to change them.

Anyways, today the cameras were turned on. Looked like the media was going to make a production out of it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] Guess I'll change[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] how I travel around town[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Exactly. People just change their route and the light has done nothing. Big 'ol scam in my eyes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
