What do you mean by "only"

Do you feel better knowing only half your money goes to the County?

The county will still take in over 6 million dollars.

Don't worry they will be adding more soon and will be increasing the fine to 75 soon enough

If you read the article, you would see that the companies that get the other 50% employ 'traffic safety research coalitions' and lobbyists to advance their greedy agendas.

The bigger crime is that some of these contracts don't let the city, police, etc. lengthen the time for the yellow lights.

"However, some contracts potentially impose financial penalties on the city if traffic engineers extend the length of the yellow light at intersections, which would reduce the number of tickets the systems can issue," the report says.

Who are these companies to try to dictate something like that?

Sorry I didn't know that you were one of those that actually believed they're putting them up for safety issues.
