This is simply another tax on motorists. AAA even yanked their support in DC when they were shortening the yellow lights to generate more revenue. "Lon Anderson, a spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic, said the data reinforce the motor club's view that the red-light effort is targeted more at generating revenue than at reducing crashes.
