Normally I am a proponent of stoplight cameras because of the increased safety they bring to the road especially since as a mobile locksmith I am always on the road. However, 6,600 speeding ticket in one month!? That seems astronomical being that the town population is around a 1/3 of the speeding tickets.
Yes. thank you for the feed back. I understand your concern and you have done your research on the village’s population. Considering the business owners and motorists in the village complained that the cameras are ruining the reputation of the village, I am guessing that a lot of the speeding tickets had been issued to visitors as well.
