I'm not sure if we still have any here. The city council put them in without a vote. Then there was a big uproar so they were supposed to be taking them out. The problem with the traffic lights (besides the obvious that you are being ticketed without a real person seeing you do anything wrong) was that they actually increased the number of accidents because people would see them at the last minute, be afraid of getting a ticket because the light was turning and slam on their brakes to stop thus the car behind them would hit them. IMO they are nothing but another money grab. And the fact that they were run by a third party company who was profitting by per ticket doesn't much set right with me.
