Los Angles abandoned red-light cameras, they achieved the opposite of their goal: better safety.

The contracts cities have with the red light camera manufactures calls for a specific amount of tickets per intersection to pay for it. To achieve this goal the lights are tweaked in such a way that they are assured red light violations will happen; the thing they wanted to avoid in the first place.

And the numbers showed that more accidents happened on intersections with red-light cameras.
