Big brother is watching. I think these cameras should be banned.

2 cameras on the same road one right after the other? This is rediculous! why not install one at every intersection in the town?

Law enforcement can't be everywhere at once. If properly calibrated I believe devices of this type will serve to make everyone safer. We have a lot of 'newly-minted' drivers in the area. I see infractions that run the gamut, every day, which would make a thinking person cringe. When has it ever been lawful to cross a solid white line at an intersection; or to change lanes while moving through an intersection? The jockeying for position while coming to a red signal has gotten completely out of hand. This isn't Le Mans where a staggered starts are the norm. People, in general, seem to drive as though harried and perpetually late for some appointment and some still insist on driving while distracted; cell phone in-hand and stuck to their ears. I would like see a stepped-up effort to revoke the licenses of repeat offenders. Also, speed limits are intended to aid traffic flow in that reaction times are calculated to safely allow for contingencies on any particular road and conditions. It is getting like Dodge City out there on the roadways. People, slow down; please.

What about winter time when it is sometimes not safe to stop due to ice. Will we get tickets for being safe? Do they think about that?

Also one day I had a big truck on my tail. I was afraid to stop quick for him. If there was a camera am I now in trouble for not wanting my car smashed?

I say BOYCOTT red light cameras! Slow down and stop at red lights. Ten other cars behind you will be forced to slow down behind you. In six months the camera companies will go broke and pull them out of our town.

This is just another form of revenue for the township. I am a professional driver, and base part of my decision to go thru a yellow light on the safety factor(tailgating from people behind). Now we will have to choose between stopping and getting rear ended and going thru the light and get a fine. I personally believe it is time to get a rid of our mayor. She needs to retire, before she does anymore damage to east windsor. Glenn you are out of touch with what red light cameras do. They dont slow down cars, they make people have to make split second decisions on whether to speed up or stop at the light, depending on the situation.

Charles, your observations with regard to the tailgating problem speaks to my concern for the heightened degree of impatience, distraction and lawlessness on the roads. Are all Yellow, or Caution intervals created the same? Are they of the same duration? One has to get to know their intersections as I believe that the duration of a yellow can vary. My high school driving instructor, the football coaching legend of Neshaminy High School, Mr. Jack Swartz, would instruct his pupils to observe the traffic signals within their nominal field of view to determine whether a Green signal was "stale". Meaning that, if you first observed a traffic signal, and noted that it was green, it was reasonable to expect the imminent change to yellow then red. The fact that you and others note the presence of tailgaters, breathing down your neck like they were drafting you on the backstretch at Daytona, is something to be aware of. Slow down and let them pass you. And always maintain a cautious approach to any intersection. Scan, side-of-the-eye, and at all times be aware.

It's easy to let emotions have one overlook vetted facts from traffic reports:

Excerpt from article:

"Since the proponents of red-light cameras have made safety the central argument for their implementation, it’s only fair to refer to studies to examine whether they are serving their intended purpose.

The Virginia Transportation Research Council conducted a seven-year study at 28 intersections with red light cameras in six jurisdictions in Northern Virginia. They found that the crash rate actually increased by 12 percent at these intersections after implementation of red-light cameras. It turned out that the cameras were a double-edged sword; red-light running crash rates decreased by 42 percent, but rear-end collisions increased 27 percent. The increase in total crashes, despite the significant reduction in red-light running crashes, was due to the fact that there were four times more rear end collisions than red-light running crashes.

Surprisingly, the most telling aspect of this study was that half the jurisdictions experienced an increase in injuries from crashes after implementing red light cameras. The researchers concluded that “the study did not show a definitive safety benefit associated with camera installation with regard to all crash types, all crash severities, and all crash jurisdictions.”

Casper, if my suggestion for slowing down was tried, which in this neck-of-the-woods would involve just doing the speed limit, then primarily only those wishing to play 'bumper cars' would get involved in intersection rock'em, sock'em. My take. Also, who here reading these comments knows what a 'Yield' sign indicates?

So, just hang back and the cameras will not, theoretically, be a problem for you, for other law abiding drivers and the 'pure at heart'. The rest will have to worry. And pay-up!

Rte 130/33 is a state road. So it is likely to be heavily traveled by people from out of town. If we put up enough red light cameras that us locals know about, we may be able to eliminate property taxes altogether, on the backs of people we don't even know!

The ones who travel these roads most often, the locals (people who live and work in East Windsor), will be the ones most affected by these red light cameras. I do not care how good of a driver you are. It comes down to the law of averages. I know the mayor claims it is because "vehicles use that area as an alternative to the turnpike since it doesn’t have tolls,” but it is the ones who use the road most often that"ll be most susceptible to get a ticket. Because like I said, it is just the law of averages.

Due to Red Light cameras, every single time I approach any intersection with a traffic light I speed up (gun it) until I pass the intersection. Although this is not a safe practice, this is the only way to avoid a ticket should the light turn amber and red while driving. I hope New Jersey bans ALL Red Light cameras soon; I hate driving with the Fear of getting a ticket everytime I pass a traffic light.

Well that will be another intersection I will avoid at all costs. The business around those two intersections with red light cams will never see any of my money spent there.

Guess what everyone, the police chief of Lawrenceville announced that there are MORE accidents with the red light cameras not less. The problem in East Windsor is the Mayor and council vote for these revenue producing items, the police enforce the regulations like the good guestapo that they are, and finally the Kangeroo Court with its Guilty until proven innocent set of rules, makes sure that you will be ticketed, and found guilty no matter what you say or prove. Then to put the icing on the cake the court will hit you with court costs, to "convince" you to just pay.
