absolutely. i wouldn't care if all intersections had camera's on them, and making them capable of detecting speed as well is a bonus. the amount of times i have a green light and have to wait for the boneheads still entering the intersection to turn in front of me..... i just don't get some people. blatantly running red lights is just plain dumb and they deserve every thing the law can throw at them. many people also don't realise that if the light is orange, and you could've stopped, the penalty is the same as running a red. orange doesn't mean speed up, which is why the camera's have had speed detection added to them.
