At the very beginning of April, the city of Montgomery put seven red-light cameras in place at various busy intersections. Anyone who runs a red-light in one of these places may be sent a $50 ticket in the mail for the first two offenses in a twelve-month period and will double after any additional violations. Throughout the month of April, violators will solely be issued a warning, but beginning May 1, actual tickets will be given. All camera images are to be reveiwed by the city and a police officer will then issue the tickets.
I think that this is a smart move for the city of Montgomery, for people run red lights constantly and accidents occur as a result. If more tickets are given for this violation, people will be more careful , including myself, and fewer fatalities will result.

Wow! That's interesting! I mean interesting to learn not interesting to get a ticket! LOL!
I don't like the idea of being on camera and making it easier to get a ticket. If it stops people from running red lights though then I guess its worth it.
