What Does a Red Light Intersection Look Like?

It would be great if you could memorize where all of the red light cameras were located and drive cautiously thru those intersections. However, I realize that you can't memorize the entire list. So, I thought it would be helpful to let you see what to look for so you know where the red light cameras are located.

Almost all of the locations are marked by one of these signs.


This is what the actual camera looks like.

I have also seen cameras above the actual red light signal. I will try to get a picture of that and post it soon.

A Texas judge invalidated a traffic ticket from an automated red-light camera on the grounds that the company running the camera did not have a private investigator license. New Texas legislation regulating certain electronic legal evidence work is causing problems for robo-cop traffic enforcement.

Opps. I misspoke. The judge did not invalidate the ticket. He said the red-light camera company was acting illegally. -Ben
