Peggy Fudge: Intersection needs more than double lights

Wants rumble strips, automatic ticket video surveillance and hefty fines for those who run red lights, as older model black SUV did recently when writer was approaching light
Comments in support of: Comments re article 75851 Joyce Reliford: Double lights aren't enough

By Peggy Fudge
I agree with Joyce - Double lights aren't enough. I was stopped at the light, coming back to town from WM. The light turned green, and I watched before proceeding through the intersection.

Thank God, I don't rush the light. An older model, black SUV breezed through.

The light didn't turn red on him when he passed through the intersection. It was red in time for him to stop, but he didn't.

Maybe rumble strips would have warned him to slow for a possible stop, maybe not.

I am still convinced that we need cameras and automatic ticketing for drivers running the red lights.

The system will pay for itself and maybe save lives when people understand they must stop at the red light and not breeze through it, or pay a hefty fine. --Peggy Fudge
