BRAKING: Florida Has QUIETLY Shortened Timing On YELLOW LIGHTS...$$$
A subtle, but significant tweak to Florida's rules regarding traffic signals has allowed local cities and counties to shorten yellow light intervals, resulting in millions of dollars in additional red light camera fines.

The 10 News Investigators discovered the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) quietly changed the state's policy on yellow intervals in 2011, reducing the minimum below federal recommendations. The rule change was followed by engineers, both from FDOT and local municipalities, collaborating to shorten the length of yellow lights at key intersections, specifically those with red light cameras (RLCs).

MORE....

"Red light cameras generated more than $100 million in revenue last year in approximately 70 Florida communities, with 52.5 percent of the revenue going to the state. The rest is divided by cities, counties, and the camera companies. In 2013, the cameras are on pace to generate $120 million."

And here I thought I was just being paranoid thinking that.

What sucks even more is having to be behind these people who fail to pay attention when the arrow turns green and that increases your chances of being caught when it turns from yellow to red.

9 times out of 10 when I'm waiting at a left turn signal and it turns green, I have to beep my horn at the car in front of me because they are not paying attention.
