MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Traffic light cameras will begin recording Sunday in Murfreesboro.

Murfreesboro outfitted three of the city's six most dangerous intersections with the cameras and signs to cut down on speeding and accidents.

I wouldn't care about the camera's as I don't make a habit of running red lights, however, what's with these crazy lights in Murfreesboro that turn green for about long enough to let one car through, turn yellow, and then turn red before the second car gets through????? Sometimes it's impossible to get through an intersection before the light has gone from green, to yellow, to red. Very unfair and very unsafe as I have witnessed people speed up just to try to get through the intersection. Is this just a new money maker?

Yes, it is. These clowns are much more interested in revenues than in safety. Keep this in mind when they run for re-election.

I will and I, for one, will sit longer at the light before I will get caught in the trap or put myself or anyone else in danger. Sooner or later they'll figure out it's a bad idea.

They had them in Minnesota and a guy took it to court.

They were ruled ---illegal-- because they identified the car but did not identify the driver with accuracy.

Everyone who recieved a ticket in the past years got it cleared from their driving record and got their fine returned.
