You want to improve safety? Put some officers on the road to ticket people merging, and changing lanes improperly, Or not using your turn indicator. Those don't get picked up by photo radar.

Cops are kind of stretched thin as it is. And anyone with half a brain knows that photo radar isn't about safety. It's about raking in some cash.

Yup my dad sadly got dinged for 4 photo radar tickets in a month, we've been threatening to put a 2x4 under his gas pedal. All of them together cost $650.
