Governor's Budget Fix: Catch Red Light Speeders With Cameras
SACRAMENTO - California drivers could get stuck with speeding tickets even with nary a cop in sight under a proposal tucked deep in the budget Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled today.
The Republican governor wants to let cities and counties install speed sensors in red-light cameras to ticket speeding drivers. Those whizzing by the detectors up to 15 mph above the limit would have to fork over $225 per violation. Those going faster than that would pay $325 under the plan.
Red-light cameras already exist in communities across the Southland, from Beverly Hills to Yucaipa. The governor wants to install speed detectors in 500 of those cameras, which would nab an estimated 2.4 million speeding violators per year, according to the finance department estimates.
That would net cash-strapped California about $337.9 million through June 2011. Every year after that, the program would generate nearly half a billion dollars, the finance department says. Local governments would get a cut of the proceeds.

This guy is an idiot. I love how he did his State of the State address at 10:00am, on a Wednesday morning when most Californians are at work or in school.. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

When I drive down millbrae ave late at night. I have to speed to get through the camera'd intersection. I have also seen the same thing on el camino real.
So hypothetically if they have speed senosrs in those cameras. I will get a ticket everytime, because I can't make it through the intersection.
If I'm cruising 33-34 mph(in a 35 zone) and my tires cross the first crosswalk that trips the sensors. The light turns yellow. I have to put the gas pedal all the way to the floor to get through the light. So then I will get a speeding ticket? So basically we are robots now! And we are screwed!

I believe that as long as your two front tires are passed the limit line when it turns red.. you are ok..
So you just have to give it a little gas to enter the intersection while the light is yellow. You don't have to clear the intersection before it turns red.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.
