Cameras - continued

Apparently unable to add this comment to the BRICK TO ELIMINATE RED LIGHT CAMERAS THIS MONTH

I have been toying with proposing what I will now offer as an idea - what if there were an established 2 second delay between Red to Green from the time the other light turns RED....somebody unable to safely stop in time wouldn't end up hitting someone who had not yet begun to enter the intersection.  If you hit fifteen red lights a day on the way to work, your commute would be increased by ONE MINUTE A DAY.  That small window might prevent an accident. 

You can't measure accidents that don't happen, but is it worth ONE MINUTE A DAY - or less - instead of "Traffic Cam Scams"?  Think over the folks you know of who had an accident at a light - how many of those would not happen with the 2 second delay?  It's a simple problem of physics - two cars can't occupy the same space at the same time.  We can improve the odds that they are never IN the same place at the same time with this small change.
