Question:
Are there ever red light cameras connected to lights that are solely
controlled by induction loops (that sense the presence of cars and change
the light)? There's this one light near where I live - NJ 124 and Broad
Street in Springfield, that never changes to allow cross traffic unless
there are cars waiting. The problem is that the sensor doesn't detect
motorcycles, so I've had to wait a few minutes and run the light a couple
of times. The light doesn't have a camera - NJ doesn't really use photo
enforcement - but, if it did, I would be paying through the nose for
running a broken light.

Before I'm soundly flamed by all of you on rec.moto, yes, I *have*
contacted NJ-DOT and asked them to fix the light.

If speed limits were properly set and yellow lights timed properly, then
there would be no need to discuss it. Does your mommy know you are on the
computer right now? If not, maybe you should ask for her permission.

Why doesn't everyone simply drive with paper tags like all the other
dead beats I see.

Hmmm... If it can't figure out that you're there to change the light then
it seems it ought not be able to figure out that you're there to photograph
running the red. Yes, I realize that these probably use different detection
schemes but you might have a good point to make in court!

That's good!

"properly" means different things to different people....the 85th percentile
argument is one of the oldest, lamest arguments for habitual speeders to
justify their habbits ever presented(so please don't go there) especially
considering that the 85th percentile is taken into account when speed limits
are set....safety sometimes has to over rule 85th percentile(*just because 85%
of the morons onthe road *want* to go a certains speed does not mean that the
conditions can handle it)....speed limits have to take into consideration the
vehicles that will use the particular road....an 18 wheeler can hardley be
expected to handle as well as a bmw m5 or a corvette...so unfortunately
sometimes a few have to "suffer"(according to *them*) for the overall safety of
*all*...that is, after all the American way...

he didnt say want to go, he said something to the effect of rate at which 85%
travels. If conditions wouldnt allow that speed, then how, ****tard, would the
85% travel at that rate.
