It’s not like there’s anything better to spend the money on.

Proud of it, and we demand it. A billion pounds spent on punishment is worth a thousand spent on prevention. What are you soft on crime or something?

The word is not used to describe mentally challenged people any more, so I don’t see why it can’t be used as a personal insult. It is usually used in the sense that the person being insulted should know better or is being willfully idiotic and doesn’t care. Lots of commonly used insults used to be descriptive - idiot for one.

I think there are a lot of people who base their personal worth to a large part on how expensive and huge their car is. When they are sitting in their ludicrous status symbol and get overtaken by some common pauper on a form of transport that is effectively free, it must hurt their ego. Hence the hatred of bike lanes in general.

That’s my theory anyway.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8356316/ “Red light cameras (RLCs) reduce injuries but may have no effect on total crashes”

https://blinksandbuttons.net/are-red-light-cameras-effective/ "Studies have produced mixed results over the years, but several key findings can be highlighted:

Reduction in Fatalities: Many studies indicate a reduction in fatal accidents at intersections equipped with red light cameras. A study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that states with red light camera enforcement saw a decrease of 24% in fatal red-light running crashes.

Decrease in Injuries: In addition to reducing fatalities, the same IIHS report noted that injuries at intersections also declined, with a 14% decrease in injuries related to red-light violations.

Overall Accident Rates: While some studies show a decrease in severe accidents, others note that total accident rates may increase. This is partly attributed to the phenomenon known as “rear-end collisions,” where vehicles that stop suddenly to avoid running a red light may lead to accidents."

Do you want me to go on?

Awwww fucking dimmums.

Different sorts of accidents. Red light cameras result in more fender benders, fewer T-bonings. In your example, 9 fewer T-bonings at the expense of 12 extra fender benders.

Christ. Calm down.

Absolutely nothing there suggests any of it was done for profit.

“Evidence clearly shows that camera programs are effective at decreasing the number of vehicles running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent.” Seems pretty effective to me.

"When the Houston cameras were removed, angle accidents increased by 26 percent. However, all other types of accidents decreased by 18 percent. " So, a net increase in accidents. I can’t make their numbers match up with their conclusion.

Nope. Best thing to do is browse all the posts on all the communities for a while and then start subscribing to the communities you think you might like. There is also https://lemmings.world/c/newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities to advertise themselves.
