@Call_Me_Jay “I live in Chicago. Not a secret.”
Okay, cool. Some jellies are secretive about where they live, so I’m careful not to reveal that information without permission. Anyway, the Tribune study that I linked to earlier concerns Chicago.
“After the red light cameras were installed, Chicagoans started to drive more like Los Angelenos.”
Interesting, but not entirely reassuring given that Los Angeles has the most dangerous traffic in all of California. Just because the drivers were friendlier doesn’t mean they were necessarily safer. Running red lights isn’t the only dangerous driving behavior, after all, so eliminating it doesn’t remove all sources of danger. And as the studies I linked to above show, how you eliminate it matters. Red light cameras may stop people from running red lights, but they often incentivize other dangerous behaviors.
