Red light cameras should not be put up in Tuscaloosa. They are a waste of money in a time when we need to be conserving as much of our resources as possible for relief.

Studies have found that the cameras are largely ineffective and cause more accidents: http://www.motorists.org/red-light-cameras/objections

Longer yellow lights are much more effective than cameras/tickets, and cost much less, leading to some cities to ban red light cameras: http://www.kmov.com/news/local/Jefferson-County-bans-red-light-cameras-and-looks-for-safety-alternatives-121220954.html

Municipalities across the U.S. are taking down red light cameras. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43521646/ns/us_news-life/

The last thing Tuscaloosa needs now is an extra economic burden, especially one that causes more traffic accidents and loses money for the city. Please stop the talk about red light cameras now.
