3. They had them here in Nevada for a while. It was obvious they had shortened the yellow light time at
the intersections with cameras. This was during a time when I drove 100-200 miles per day seeing hospice patients and it could not have been a more obvious attempt to entrap people. Thank goodness, our state outlawed them after a brief time in operation. They did not cut down on collisions here.
