"Cop in a Box" Coming to RR Crossings

I've read that the red light cams installed in the Chicago loop have really cut down on people running stoplights and causing gridlock. It seems that once people know they're being watched they stop. To reduce the cost once this program gets going, maybe they should consider putting up the signs and a fake box at some of the less dangerous crossings. Maybe rotate the location of the real cams. <br /> <br />I really don't like the cop-in-a-box speed-trap revenue-generators, but in addition to rail crossingts, the worst accidents involving serious injuries and deaths in my area where speeds are typically 35-50 mph happen at intersections, so enforcement at these locations whether by camera or traditional law enforcement makes a lot more sense than handing out speeding tickets for 5 over.
