Survey on Red Light Cameras
[From Most back red-light devices but not near home - Chicago Breaking News]
A new WGN poll finds skepticism about the use of red light cameras. This is not surprising and will keep increasing as red light cameras largely target right hand turns in the Chicago area.
61 percent said the primary purpose of cameras was to boost ticket revenue for local governments and the private firms they hire to install and run camera equipment.
Overall, 53 percent agreed red-light cameras were a “good idea,” while 41 percent thought them a “bad idea.”
Just 31 percent of Downstate voters said they would like to see cameras installed where they live, while 57 percent said they would not.
More than half of suburban Cook residents surveyed said they disliked the notion of cameras, and 58 percent said they didn’t want one where they lived.
