i hope so. In America, the largest cause of car accidents is people running red lights. When cameras are put up on the traffic lights to automatically send tickets to people who run lights, they stopped running the lights at these particular intersections.

However, lately many towns have stopped using the camera's, because of the loss in revenue from not getting the tickets they used to get. So that story is basically garbage, the cameras are always intended to make money and safety is why we are supposed to put up with them.
