Didn't expect any different result!

Good! Don't go through the red and you won't have an issue.

Gotta make that money!

I just shop in towns that don't have these lights, it's avoids the problem all together.

So instead of raising property taxes as a result of Christie's continuing severe cuts to municipal aid, municipalities will now tax you through these camera fines, cameras that are "rigged" to capture innocent drivers.

have they every really told anyone, what they're using the traffic camera money for... and how much they've taken in ?

Cant have a cop on every traffic light corner, so good for the cameras! An idea would be to have a time count down display just like in crosswalks that tell you how much time you have. That way those "innocent drivers" wont get caught!....when they speed up too late!

cameras prevent nothing! if you would go through the red, right when the signal changes nothing is or could happen theres a delay before the other side changes this is just a money making business and a dangerous one as cars now slam on brakes when it's still yellow causing rear end accidents

WRITE THEM UP. IF PEOPLE WOULD START PAYING ATTENTION TO THEIR DRIVING, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THE PIPER. THEY SPEED,TEXT OR TALK ON PHONE WHILE DRIVING AND THEY CRY WHEN THEY GET TICKETED. MOST ACCIDENTS DON'T JUST HAPPEN, THEY ARE CAUSED BY A CARELESS IDIOT. NEXT TIME YOU GET A TICKET FOR BLASTING THROUGH A RED LIGHT, JUST IMAGINE KILLING A PERSON IN THE PROCESS.

FOR YOUR INFO ASKAN, IF SOMEONE SLAMS ON HIS OR HERS BRAKE AND SOMEONE REARENDS THEM, THEIR PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD BE BACK FAR ENOUGH TO STOP UNLESS THEY WHERE TAILGATING. MAJOR PROBLEM. MOST PEOPLE ARE IN A RUSH TO DO NOTHING.

The next thing that I would like to see is a plan to catch the speeders in residential development areas. People blowing through stop signs and well exceeding the 25mph speed limits in areas where we raise our children in hopes that they won't get hit by a car because someone is speeding while talking or texting on their phone and treat each stop sign like a yield sign. Who would have thought that our neighborhoods could be so dangerous from idiots with a drivers license.

I'M WITH YOU TIMEFORCHANGE. LIKE I SAID, ALWAYS IN A RUSH. INSTEAD OF SPEEDING, THEY SHOULD LEAVE EARLIER. CELL PHONES ARE GREAT. BUT THEY ARE MISUSED. LIKE TEXTING AND GOING 80 MPH ON PARKWAY AND COPS WHO PASS THEM BY. SO NOT DO WE HAVE IDIOTS BREAKING EVERY LAW, WE HAVE A LOT OF LAZY COPS THAT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. JUST COUNTING THE DAYS TO THEIR RETIREMENT AND PENSION.

Agreed!

This is more like the "yellow light' cameras.
If this is a pilot program, can I send in my 'pilot program" $$$$?

I don't see the problem. If you're a Brick resident, and still getting caught by these things, you're doing something wrong. You know they're there, you know what they do, what's it gonna take to learn not to go through them? Rear end accidents don't happen nearly as much as you say. I go through these intersections a dozen times a day and havent seen ONE since the cameras went up. Don't get mad when you're unable to break the law as you please anymore. I'd also like to see something done about the idiots that keep turning left onto Drum Point from Hooper after their green arrow is gone and oncoming traffic is barreling down on them. Makes my blood boil every time I have to slam my brakes for one of these idiots.

No sense tearing our hair out and gnashing our teeth about these cameras, we will show our appreciation for them during the next election and show our gratitude to the politicians that made them possible. (just a little over a year to go)!

This State can't open my wallet up fast enough!

My opinion about the cameras is mixed. It is good that they make people more alert when approaching an intersection, but I find myself very apprehensive about the light changing unexpectedly. Years ago I went through a yellow light about to turn red and got pulled over. Years later, being gun shy about yellow lights, I had to brake suddenly on Brick Blvd when the light turned yellow… and I got rear ended. Should have gone through, and there were no cameras back then. The cameras make me even more nervous. As someone already put it, it's like playing musical chairs. If the data shows the cameras really do prevent accidents, that's a plus. If not, then they are nothing but another scheme to extract money from the people. I would rather see more attention paid to stopping tailgaters and speeders.

If those red light cameras save one life, then they are well worth the money you "law breaking red light runner cry babies" will pay! Next, cameras on stop signs and then roadside cameras that will take your pictures on the cell phone. When the satellite indicates movement in the GPS in your smart phones, over lets say 5 mph, you get a ticket! ALL you law breakers deserve ALL the tickets you get! Love to take a poll on how many of these crybabies have bad driving records and multiple traffic tickets!

There's a better way to prevent these types of problems at intersections. It is called dilemma zone detection. Which is what causes the running a red light issue, whether to brake or continue when the light turns yellow at a specific point. HOWEVER, this will not raise money for a township so therefore it is normally off the table. I am a IMSA certified traffic engineer so I have experience in these matters. Google "dilemma zone detection" and see for yourself. I recommend staying away from the red light camera locations as a matter of course.

Red light cameras do not save lives. They just generate income. I have been driving for 20 + years and have not noticed a plague of red light runners. Getting a ticket in the mail because you did not come to a complete stop before turning right on red at 5:00am on a Sunday does not save lives. It is intrusive. Whats next cameras all over town monitoring for litterers. Thats illegal too. # sheep longing for false security

Oh, and "They just generate income", good! As far as I am concerned my increases in car insurance rates are a tax created by the bad drivers. So who causes all those accidents? Not the drivers who drive the speed limit at which I believe the yellow light duration is timed. The ONLY variable I see here on red light violations is the decision to stop and reaction times. But when your rear bumper is across the stop line, your are quilty !

Now they'll really shorten up the time...... How often will they be checked.

Brick is notorious for the highly congested, multi-laned mess of a road system it has, snaking its way through an abundance of strip malls, shopping centers, fast food meccas, etc ... So now we know that according to Brick, their traffic light cameras are operating within the "minimum required yellow-light phase".
Seriously? Would it have been so horrible to extend the yellow light phase by 3-4 seconds - instead of sticking with the "minimum required" timing? Drivers see a yellow light and need to make a split second judgement call.... judging speed, distance from the light, cars all around them, (especially behind them) and then decide it they can make it SAFELY through a yellow light, or need to immediately begin braking. Wouldn't it be better to offer them a few extra seconds instead of making everyone more concerned about being "caught on camera" MAYBE making the wrong call?

I love paying extra taxes! What would I do with all the extra money stimulate the economy?

photoblocker.com

there are MANY people who slam on their brakes for yellow lights when they're 10ft from the intersection, and almost causing an accident.

i see quite a few people run red lights in brick, and i see many people people slam on their brakes for yellow lights at the camera intersections.

Mattie, you don't change the law because people are being caught breaking it, THEY need to change their patterns and behaviors. It's really very simple. If you don't break the law, you don't get a ticket. If you don't come to a complete stop before turning right on red at 5am on a Sunday, you broke the law, you get a ticket. The laws aren't suspended because theirs nobody on the road. If you're driving down a long straight road that nobody else is on, it doesn't suddenly become legal to do 100mph. If the police were to pick and choose who gets a ticket based on anything other than the law, you'd all be here for hours complaining how you got a ticket and Bobby up the block didn't. It's simple. Don't run the red light, don't get a ticket. Come to a complete stop at a red lIght, and then turn, don't get a ticket. If you're incapable of learning not to break the law, then maybe you shouldn't even be driving.

ATIS, I also see a ton of people riding the ass of the car in front of them for no reason. If you're in such a hurry to get somewhere that you can't stay a couple car lengths behind the person in front of you, LEAVE EARLIER. Here's another hint for tailgaters. Most people, when you ride up on their ass, SLOW DOWN. You're actually getting the opposite result of what you wanted. Brilliant.

Jleft, you're not getting it. There is no big brother if you don't break the law. If people don't run the red light, the cameras don't take pictures, rendering them useless. You want to get rid of them? Stop running red lights!

So Jleftyy, how many tickets have you had on your record. How could anyone figure you were one that got nailed. And i might assume the cop did not have to pull you over because he knew the camera got you. And I will accept Big Brother if he catches someone breaking the law and prevents some idiot killing someone. And you want a cop at every intersection? You did not answer my question to substantiate your statement "Red light cameras do not save lives." I will put you in touch with my friend who's daughter was "T"boned at an intersection when the driver at fault admittedly had another ticket for running red lights. Think maybe if she had been ticketed other times she would have been more responsible? Luckily my friends daughter is ok!

If its so much better out in Texas or Arizona, by all means, GO! Maybe you can post up at a nice spot on the border and shoot at illegals trying to make a better life for themselves

How many of you with negative comments have received a red light camera ticket? How many of you with negative comments actually live in the Brick?

EVERY and I mean EVERY ticket issued for failure to obey the law is verified by a police officer before it is sent out. He watches the video and if he thinks you are at fault he will issue the ticket. If he feel that if a ticket is not warranted one does not get issued.

If you OBEY the Law, you won't get a ticket, it's that simple. And, if the revenue helps to keep MY TAXES down then I say install the cameras at every intersection.

Nearly every place that has installed traffic camera's has had issues with them. The news stories pop up from place to place on a monthly basis. Regardless of what their intended purpose supposedly is or what you or I would like them to acheive, that is enough reasonf or me to say they should go.
Furthermore the concept of the company responsible for installation and maintnence being a paid a percentage of tickets generated is reason number 2 they should go. There is far too much incentive for post inspection tampering there.

Eitherway whether ya want them or not just get past the whole "they are for safety" argument because they aren't. They are to generate income and that's it.

This is the most fair and unbiased form of law enforcement. It will catch the kids that are distracted, the adults who think they are above the law and the old people who can't react the way they used to...and everyone in between THAT REFUSES TO OBEY THE LAW. We learn the difference between red yellow and green lights before we can even ride a bike. I am so pleasantly surprised to see all those in support of these life savers and law breaker catchers. I imagine the ones that complain are the same ones who break the law and get caught or are inconvenienced now because they have to drive the speed limit and (heaven forbid) more cautiously. When you drive around in a machine that can so easily and indiscriminately kill other people you should take the responsibility seriously. If I end up getting a ticket at one of these cameras I will know that it is MY fault.

Thank you to the man in the silver car who didn't rear-end me today when I cam,e to a screeching stop at the yellow light on Brick Blvd. I'd rather be rear ended then give the jerks in Brick a dime.

So the person behind me beware, I'll be a stomping brakes on yellow. Or is that the next ridiculious camara these slobs will put up.

I always stop at red lights. That's when I dump my ash tray with the cigarette butts out onto the road.

I HATE these cameras. I would love to see a one year study done, with cameras & without. I want to see hard numbers of how many accidents they prevent. MOST of the people these things "catch" are not full on running a red light, but either trying to make a left turn or are traveling through the intersection. I feel bad for the businesses around these lights, I would be curious to see if they have felt any decline in customers since the cameras went in. Personally I do my best to avoid them at all cost, rather just not have to deal with it.

Lets put cameras at townhall intersection and also at the doors of townhall. this way we can catch town employees running lights and also see how often Our Mayor and council actually visit town hall.

Hey clyde, have you been to Shoprite lately? dont think they are hurting to bad. You fool!

@Jleftyy...You would rather get a ticket from a police officer patrolling the intersection, instead of responding to those who need help? You are complaining about their salary, but if you were stopped by an officer at those intersections and given a ticket, would you not be complaining that the officer should have better things to do than watch the intersection? Would you then complain the officer was not fair and fight the ticket in court? I guess someone with your position would find it hard to argue against a camera, rather than a police officer. Isn't that really what this comes down to? I think you should reevaluate your posting. Anthony is right, obey the law and you will not have a problem. And if you don't like these laws, look to your politicians who passed them.

Hey Bob, no I have not been to shop rite, I can't stand that shopping center. Call me a fool, go piss off !!

No one here really into the proper solution to the yellow clearance dilemma zone I take it. I see a lot of people commenting. How many of you have any experience or background in traffic control, signal timings, intersection phasing, etc.? It is quite simply not as easy as just "obeying the law". At that point there would only be two lights, a red and a green. There is a technological solution that does not require ticketing that will solve the yellow light issue.

The Cameras don’t bother me as much as the big brother connections. They watch us at ATMs, they watch us at banks, they watch us in shopping malls and you better believe the NSA listens to our telephone calls, cellular calls and internet chatter. More than that, a super secret National Security Letter available from any FBI Office, without a court order, for most anything the government can dream up can be issued, without any notice to you, and the information gathered is admissible in court. It seems that nobody in modern government has read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, or if they have, then they have chosen to ignore those documents.

Mr "Common Sense", the speed limit is the same in both lanes. There is no speeding lanes in Brick. Hey, if you want to speed, then by all means, do so. But don't complain when you get in an accident or get a ticket because you're exceeding the speed limit that the lights are timed for.

A lot of you are forgetting that this is a pilot program. If the probationary period ends, and the cameras did exactly what they claim they do (save lives and punish law breakers) then what do you really have to complain about? If they don't, then we can change it. Until then, sit there patiently at the red lights with the rest of us. 9 times out of 10, the guy you flew past, who's doing the speed limit, ends up right next to you at the same red light. Doing 5 or 10 over the speed limit is useless, youre not getting there any faster.

That would be the reason they are reviewed instead of automatically sending a ticket. If you have no choice but to go through, you won't get a ticket. I've had them flash at me a couple times. No tickets.

Ok. Then why go through all the trouble and expense of putting up red light cameras, when a piece of equipment no bigger than a large book can do a better job with less expense and less potential to harass the motoring public.
Again, I would ask people commenting on this post to read the article I posted to understand what you are dealing with, it is not "red light running", it is a "dilemma zone" issue.

Let me explain this more intelligently.
Scenario 1: Let's say someone is driving stupidly, drinking coffee while texting on the phone, looks down, the light goes yellow, they speed up, it goes red, the other side goes green, the at fault motorist blows the light, side swipes a car, causes a major accident. Yes, they now get a ticket but the accident still occurs.

Same person, same scenario of driving stupidly, same not realizing light has turned yellow BUT the detector that is now at the intersection senses that the vehicle is not slowing down for the approaching yellow and realizes that at the current rate of travel it will miss the yellow and run the red light, so the detector tells the intersection to add 2 seconds of yellow to the light to allow this one car to pass. The car makes the yellow, the opposing traffic is not put into a potential accident situation. Yes, the township loses out on potential revenue but the accident is avoided, injuries do not occur, damages do not incur, insurance rates do not go up.

Perhaps that shows what I am speaking about a bit more clearly. I really don't care but I feel as though people should know there are alternatives to red light cameras.

So Brett M., you will give the red light runners, with a "dilemma", discretion and the benefit of the doubt and extend the yellow light timing? Totally absurd!! More grid lock? ...interfering with traffic light timing? While I might agree less accidents may occur, you would be giving those who WANT TO TRY AND BEAT THE LIGHT, a reprieve! While some drivers may be caught in an indecision, I must believe most are just trying to beat that light being in a hurry! Sorry but this theory is ridiculous and an excuse! And if the cops view the tapes, I am sure they can tell who was a victim of circumstance and who is just an idiot driver

Jleftyy: Why should he, you were caught rehanded by the camera. You were getting a ticket already, you want two?

Hey everyone ! I have an idea !! Why dont the county of Ocean or the State of NJ install redlight cameras in Lakewood if they want to profit millions ?? Oh wait I forgot they let the Hasidics get away with whatever they want !!! If it was up to me I would have cameras & Troopers in that filthy town cracking down on all the illegal stuff thats going on !! So just as a heads up if you want to break all road rules and whatever other corruption you may be into !! Set up shop in FilthWood ! I meant Lakewood NJ !!! Anything goes !! WildWild West ! And dont worry about the police because they are even lazier than TRPD if thats even possible but its true !! Check it Out !!!

NOt that I make a habit of running red lights, But what happens on weekends in the summer & during any holiday getting caught behind someone that is on Brick Blvd, turing left onto chamberbridge then someone desides they want to go to Cormer Post Diner making a left into that plaza backing up the traffic & then while in the middle of the intersection the light changes, ... YOU can ..A cut someone off that is in the right lane * that murges anyway, risking getting hit ... Or B get a ticket...?

BTW while out shopping tonight& picking up teenagers.. had to quickly slam on my breaks 3 times in order to make sure I didnt go threw a yellow/ light NO dought the timing has changed on them... Cant wait to see how many rear end accidents this creates

I hope they all have insurance, because if you rearend someone it's your fault. Good luck. Slow down alittle when you come to a camera lit intersection. 70% of the people getting tickets are out of towners.

wow

hi ALL

the light turns yellow and then turn red really fast so im going to drive all day back ant fourth going very slow so i can stop and watch other give me the finger to go around me really fast so they get the ticket that cool that way maybe i can get a raise for what im doing

LF what kind of name is that? I'm supriised they let you post with a name like that.

I just can't understand why you FOOLS can't obey the law instead of trying to re-write it to suit YOUR needs.

OBEY THE F***ING LAW like everyone else does.

1stcav: I understand now.

What don't you understand?

Not So Dumb, Someone answered my question already, they understood. Evidently English wasn't your primary language. But ,I must agree with your post.

I like the camera if the police do not check plate before issuing violation. This would elimanate influence pedaling.
