Nick, I agree completely with you, if something hurts Middletown then it should be looked into and maybe even changed. But I dont think all red lights should be timed at six seconds. It has to do with the speed limit on the road your driving on. If you are driving up central where the speed limit is 35 do you really need six seconds to stop? If you are doing the speed limit there is no way you would need six seconds to stop. I have some more proof of this and will post it in little bit, as for now I on my way out of the office for the day. And I have a poker game tonight. Any one on here play poker and ever looking for a nice friendly game?]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:52:32 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11781&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11781 Worst states for traffic tickets : I agree with Pacman, it's... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11779&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11779 Author: Hermes

I agree with Pacman, it's gone on long enough and it's time the people took back their city and restore it to the best it can be. We all know whats going on in this town, why it has gone this far I don't know,I assume everyone was comfortable and chose to overlook it. But we are walking on jagged rocks with no shoes on now, time to make some changes.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:44:56 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11779&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11779 Worst states for traffic tickets : Randy, I also wonder how much... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11778&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11778 Author: Nick_Kidd

Randy, I also wonder how much red light cameras had to do with our image and reputation. I have talked to people in both Cincinnati and Dayton who claim that they no longer come to Middletown because of the cameras. I hear Middletown say that they should stay away if they want to run red lights. Their answer is that the yellow light timing is so short, that Middletown is just trying to steal their money. I wonder if this hurt the mall, even though I think the owners did most of the damage. When the cameras were installed, MJ soundoff was full of people stating that they would no longer shop in Middletown. Anything that hurts Middletown's image, reputation, or keeps people from coming to town, should be looked at very carefully. And before anyone asks, no I have never gotten a red light ticket. My view is about what is best for the survival of Middletown. ]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:29:48 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11778&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11778 Worst states for traffic tickets : Randy, I am against the cameras... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11777&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11777 Author: Nick_Kidd

Randy, I am against the cameras because of the abuse that goes with them. If the city wanted to stop red light runners, they should time the yellow lights at six seconds. A study that I read stated that this would stop about 80% of red light runners. The timing on the yellow lights under the old system was below state minimums, creating an entrapment, in my opinion. People also got tickets that got stopped at the lights. I believe that the only way this could happen is that the city thought that many people would pay rather than miss work to fight it. I also believe that ticketing cars instead of the driver should be illegal. The first time red light cameras were brought up at a council meeting it was under "income enhancment" not under saftey.

Just one thing to say, Charter Amendment folks. Time to say No and enough is enough.

Nick, I am torn on the issue of the cameras I dont mind them that much now, but when they begin using them for other things and they will it is just a matter of time. Here is a link to a story posted here a couple weeks ago. What do think about the cameras being used for this....

I have a question for those on this blog. Why the large amount of electronics for red light cameras? Could it be that the next thing will be speeding tickets by these same cameras? Could it be that there will be other forms of enforcement from these same cameras? Am I wrong or did the posted signs change from "traffic signals photo enforced" to "traffic laws photo enforced"? Is city government ready to spring another money making ambush on the citizens of Middletown?]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:31:00 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11773&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11773 Worst states for traffic tickets : Wouldn't be a need for these... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11771&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11771 Author: VietVet

Wouldn't be a need for these cameras if the yellow light transition was longer between red to green. Increase the yellow light timing to allow the cars to clear the intersection that approached just as the light was turning to red. I have noticed that some lights have a very short yellow light period to them. It's as if the light goes from green to red with the yellow just "blinking" before the red.

Let's petition the cameras out of the city through the ballot.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:23:08 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2024&PID=11771&title=worst-states-for-traffic-tickets#11771
