I love to read the comments about the cameras. Lots of seemingly irrational exclamations from haters who don’t have a clue how easy it is to avoid a red light camera citation. Just stop. Also, I love roundabouts.

Rodney; Please correct me if I am wrong; 3000 tickets X $158 equals $474000 not $47000. That amount of money is plenty of incentive to expand that program. The question I have is; who owns the cameras, and collects the fines undoubtedly for a percentage, and do any local politicians have any connections to that company?

5,557 at 31% is 1,722.67
2606 at 15% is 390.90
3449 at 20% is 689.80
6052 at 34% is 2,057.68

Total: 17,664 at 100% is 4,861.02

How much are the Citations??????

3000 tickets a month at $158 a piece brings in over $45,000 a month. To think anyone would give up that income to improve interesftions or prevent red light infractions is probably far fetched.

If I did my math right, that is almost three million dollars in revenue. If any of you believe money is not the driving force behind these cams, I’ve got a gold mine to sell you . Between those cams and the parking downtown, I find less and less reasons to go down there.

Sounds like DC Reeves found a business opportunity, and has no interest in even recognizing underlying reasons why this is happening. NW Florida is incredibly disgusting, loads of sunburnt, drunk white men. Yeah, it’s dangerous driving.

Oh goodness, cue the “roundabout hating club.”

The only reason that roundabouts don’t work here is drivers refuse to understand how they work. Which is with a defined pattern of entry and exit that relies on cooperation.

Most drivers in our area are ignorant and only concerned with how fast they personally can get to where they are going instead of contributing to smooth traffic flow.

I don’t foresee selfish people adopting different behaviors.

I hope the cost of the ticket will slow them down.

I’m glad DC is not running Escambia County. Pensacola can have him.
