I’m not talking about the “red light cameras”. I’m talking about the cameras that are mounted on top of the lights at intersections.
Please read the question people: I’m not talking about the obvious cameras that take a picture of you if you run a red light. I’m talking about the simple cameras mounted on top of the lights at intersections.


to catch peeps who run reds
If u run a red light they can see u and u get busted ( duh)
my guess would be to monitor traffic flow
Bust speeders and people that run reds.
Also to monitor traffic issues.
Some of them turn the light for you. But most take pictures of cars going through after the light turns yellow and red. Then tickets are sent to the owners of those license plates.
Actually cameras mounted on top of stop lights are used to monitor traffic flow and accidents. If you think about it places in Florida have stop lights all around. However, Florida vehicles do not have a front license plate. So how do they catch you running the light? Now if there is a traffic accident they can go back and view the tape but that is about it.
There are some cameras at intersections for emergency vehicles…they change the light for them to helpthe flow of traffic so they arent caught in it.
I DID read the question and those cameras mounted on top of the lights at intersections ARE for catching you if you run a red light. And will be used if there is an accident at that intersection.
We have them here even in little “ole” Maine.
