ODOT is studying whether a pair of red light cameras at a Salem intersection should be removed. The concern is that they are doing more harm than good by causing more fender benders and rear-end crashes.

  • Rear-end collisions are caused by inattentive drivers following too close and/or going too fast. The cameras aren't causing accidents, just catching what goes on all the time. A hidden and unmarked camera watching the same intersection would see the same thing and probably more of it.. My wife got a ticket from one of these, along with a photo of the violation. She clearly ran the red light, and I told her to pay the ticket and slow down.

  • @NWSCS

    You've been caught, haven't you? Haha, serves you right.

  • cop looks like connan obrian =3-

  • What they don't tell you is how they shorten the yellow light in direct violation of USDOT regs. This has nothing whatsoever to do with safety. It's MONEY!!!

  • What's next? A camera in my fucking bathroom to see if I am wiping my ass properly? Where does this shit stop?

  • uh...BAD DRIVERS!! ARE THE PROBLEM not the cameras..

    STOP PUSHING THE YELLOW!!! AND STOP FOR IT!!

    pay attention to the lights..

    why is this so hard to understand..its not the CAMERA...WHAT IF A COP WAS AT THE CORNER 24/7 instead of the camera??

  • Such bull! Only reason why the crashes go down is because people redirect around that intersection causing traffic volume to rise in areas that cant handle it. People almost being ripped off cause the yellow light time is set shorter than it should be are getting angry. Might wanna check if the stats on road rage are going up?. Set it at the province standard if you dont wanna look like assholes. I believe its 3 secs not 2!
