Off the top of my head, mopac and 290, ben white and lamar, 11th and I35, 15th and I35, and two up north where I thankfully don't have to go these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-74334759045454869362008-05-13T12:07:00.000-05:002008-05-13T12:07:00.000-05:00Absolute avoidance of the intersections is a great...Absolute avoidance of the intersections is a great idea to spread around and implement. Once the MOMO'S at city council see the "change" they are implementing flop they will realize how stupid they are. Unfortunately there will be the typical wannabee aristocrats that do it because they have too much disposable income that will spoil it for the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>I did want to know if anyone had a legal answer on something. They said if you get a ticket it will not go on your driving record. How is it possible they can legally refuse to renew your license if you refuse to pay or tell them who was driving your car if you were not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-20951289220505311502008-05-13T11:50:00.000-05:002008-05-13T11:50:00.000-05:00Sal, Is there a list posted anywhere of which inte...Sal, <BR/><BR/>Is there a list posted anywhere of which intersections have these cameras up and working?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-62993986026334389252008-05-13T11:05:00.000-05:002008-05-13T11:05:00.000-05:00What I want to know is, are the cameras placed in ...What I want to know is, are the cameras placed in busy intersection, or are they placed in intersections where the most accidents happen. This is being marketed as a saftey measure, but in reality its about money. I see officers every single day running radar on 183N in the morning and 183 South in the evening. One of the few spots where commuters can even approach the speedlimit during heavy drive time. When was the last time you heard about accidents on this stretch of road? Never, it doesnt happen, so why isnt this man power placed on MoPac, and I-35 wher most of the accidents take place? The accidents are caused for a reason, so shouldnt they be protecting the public by enforcing the laws to prevent these accidents...oh wait, its not as profitable. Thanks APD, keep up the good work, by not solving problems, but creating them. One more for them, one less for us. I cant wait till no one can sell there house thanks to the mayor wanting us all to have green houses. This city has lost touch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-39205306779537047702008-05-13T10:57:00.000-05:002008-05-13T10:57:00.000-05:00I'm going to avoid those intersections at all cost...I'm going to avoid those intersections at all costs. I want to avoid getting rear ended when I'm forced to slam on my brakes. When I drive to lifetime fitness it will be via 360 and Mopac where there's no camera. NOT from mopac and 290 where there will be one. And I won't shop at the stores near the camera'd intersections. Heck- I may even write those stores and tell 'em why. One of those stores is Wal-Mart. Until businesses complain, nothing will change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-48247663404650411712008-05-13T09:57:00.000-05:002008-05-13T09:57:00.000-05:00Why Are Red Light Cameras Installed In the First P...<B>Why Are Red Light Cameras Installed In the First Place?</B> <A HREF="http://venturist.com/wordpress/?p=32" REL="nofollow"> The Intersection of Strategy and Measurement--The Red Light Camera</A> provides an interesting insight into the evaluation of that question!Sun Tzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979994561622171581noreply@blogger.com
