Soon after they had installed a speed and red light camera at one intersection I negotiate every morning, I was interested to observe several speeding motorists flashed as they sped through the intersection on a green - one day about 7 were done during the one cycle of lights - I thought it might have gone on the blink.
Must admit someone ran a very late red there one day - and nearly took out two of us as we headed through on the green (we were a little more interested in our respective steeds than we should have been as I have a rule to ENSURE an intersection is safe before I cross it - a self preservation thingy). So I can see the need for improved driver awareness at that intersection (although I could argue that the camera would have merely taken a really good picture of two bikes testing the car's crumple zones - and not addressed the fact that some drivers are just not suited to be on the road).
BUSGO - have you been to the Indy previously ??? Mate - take the binoculars, it is a real eye-opener.
