But I hate these things so much. I really hope some drunk redneck knocks one or three down or someone torches them.

I foresee more accidents at intersection where none really occurred. Bank on it! The elderly, law-abiding drivers begin slamming on their brakes to avoid running the red. The following-too-closely drivers pile into the slamming-on-brakes cars.

You are ticketed for turning right on red if you do not wait longer than 5 seconds. Joe, I did not know this tidbit that could earn a citation. Thanks!

I went to the grocery store a few nights ago and I didn't have to turn at a light but when I walked out of the store I kept seeing bright flashes from the intersection.

Sure enough, damn red light cameras in action. $150 fine each flash. I see the city and county's revenues going up
