Red Light Cameras on Long Island

We the public could stiff the greedy politicos if we just followed the rules of the road.

an aside:
I drove TDY in So Cal 12 or 15 years ago and again on a vacation in 2015, staying at the same Residence Inn near Anaheim and driving from the Reagan Library down to San Diego and many points in between. Rush hours, weeknights, weekends, etc. Kali drivers are the worst right ? Wrong!
I noticed quickly that stop signs actually meant stop. Trying to get the other driver to come through after his or her full stop was like trying to convince them to give up their In N Out! Changing lanes on a freeway ? Everybody signaled. Everybody. Not only that, with that signal on, people in the next lane over actually SLOWED DOWN to let me in !! I am surprised Erik Estrada and his partner did not load up on donuts, with so little to do. Littering ? I saw none in Long Beach, Hollywood, San Diego, etc..
New Yorkers are inconsiderate, rude, discourteous, "me- first" asshats and I would have left this godforsaken state years ago if not for family.
Bring on the red light cameras and while we are at it, add speed cameras to all the parkways and stop sign cameras to as many stop signs as we can. They will pay for themselves, and unfortunately due to our "good" neighbors, will never outlive their usefulness.

And for the record
It’s really not the ppl of ny
It’s the city itself
The pace , the congestion and the need to shave a second at every turn
It’s the fact they at any second on any given street it’s gridlock
That loading goods into a shop and shopping ( parking) near that shop are mutually exclusive

take those very same ppl and put them in another area ( like Florida) I’m very different conditions
Walla you get very very different ppl

to Start with, they could place STOP signs at least 100ft before the crosswalk, (early warning) rather than right on top of crosswalk or even two STOP signs, (STOP AHEAD) safety first... cellfish...

Simply another nys n city tax
Just like adding state troopers in the city
It’s all a power play / money grab
States gotta get their pound of flesh

Mark my words it’s going to get worse not better
As the city and state lose the nyc / Wall Street tax base
Taxs , fees and fines are going to sky rocket
It’s never going to keep pace with the losses in revenue but they will try

the city and state are going to suffer greatly

nyc is new chicago

Would (will?) be interesting to see how the state pays for its welfare scum if (when?) that happens.

And for the record
It’s really not the ppl of ny
It’s the city itself
The pace , the congestion and the need to shave a second at every turn
It’s the fact they at any second on any given street it’s gridlock
That loading goods into a shop and shopping ( parking) near that shop are mutually exclusive

take those very same ppl and put them in another area ( like Florida) I’m very different conditions

Wish it were true. don't southerners and Arizonans always lament that a bunch of pushy "me first" NooYawkers moved in?

discourteous, "me- first"

It’s the city itself
The pace , the congestion and the need to shave a second at every turn
It’s the fact they at any second on any given street it’s gridlock
That loading goods into a shop and shopping ( parking) near that shop are mutually exclusive

What's the solution?

If you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen & let the people that can stand the heat do the cookin!
NYC is a wonderful place ,but you do need to adjust your attitude when your'e there ..

no place like it food , music , museum's & theater cant be beat..

Just have the lights turn Green 8 seconds after the other light turns Red. Do it at all the Lights and I guarantee accidents will be reduced. Throw the book at the Driver who obviously went thru a red light, not someone kind of close like a driver who didn't stop all the way making a right on red or a driver making a right or left turn . Use the Red Light Camera to Catch those who obviously go thru Red Lights and Give Tickets to people who repeatedly drive thru the light within the 8 seconds.
And Put the Red Light Camera sign Next to the Light so you see it far away .

ever wonder why there are so many stupid Car insurance advertising on TV, = Tons & Tons of $$$... they dont know what to do wit it all... cellfish...

I went out there and one time they lost power and there were no lights at intersections. Like the drivers were pre programed, cars would stop at the intersection and 2 would drive thru , while the other cars waited their turn, the cars cleared the intersection and the waiting cars would proceed thru. In NY , it's chaos at intersections , no waiting, just drive any which way .
I guess living in the Natural Disaster State you need more cooperation on the road.
I went to the Reagan Library twice. Really nice.
