<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Red light cameras are perceived to be an unjust rip-off to levy hefty fines for petty offenses, only for the purpose to shake down the public for revenue. The public blowback against these cameras is enough to get rid of them or prevent them from being installed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">But the grade crossing application is entirely different. Who can possibly argue that the offense is petty? It kills drivers and wrecks trains. If anything deserves a red light camera, it is a grade crossing. It is a perfect no-brainer to put cameras on crossings. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">They have thought of every idea to prevent crossing crashes from barriers that automatically rise out of the roadway to giant air bags on the front of trains. I cannot think of anything more practical and cost effective than a crossing signal camera.</span></p>
