Bloomberg = Hitler

Since many red lights are not timed properly according to road grade and speed limit, the NYSDOT should not allow operation of these cameras until they are properly calibrated ensuring correct timing according to the MUTCD and ITE Engineering Standards as agreed to by NYSDOT. When timed correctly, the state is showing that safety is a concern. When timed incorrectly, improper ticketing of drivers occurs and this then should be interpretted as a revenue generator. Web info at ACTI can provide additional support for understanding the switching times for yellow to red

“He said red-light cameras save lives — the people who get hit by motorists running red lights.”

Do some productive work Mr. mayor and lead by example. Hire at least 1500 workers at Bloomburg L.P. if you are so much worried about safety of the people.

Who is going to foot the bill for all of these red light cameras?, Im sure it wont come outta Bloomies millions, it will probably be the tax payers whom are gonna haveta pay again. Ill just bet once the money comes rolling in from All these red light cameras not one cent will go to the defict, Bloomie will find some other B.S. to spend it on, like altering the consitution again with another illegal term.

Mr. Bloomberg.

You’ve done enough for this city.
Just keep quiet and go off into the sunset.
Your great ideas have made this city worse then it ever was.
I miss the Giuliani and Koch days.

Mike,
This is your worst idea yet.
As a NY driver I can tell you, these not only
do not save lives but cost them. Drivers
become desperate to avoid getting caught in
an intersection and so speed up rather than slow down.
The lights have been altered so that the yellow
is so short that no one can react to it in time.
Your DOT is a hotbed or the worst civic ideas
in NYC history. If you drove yourself, you’d
understand what a bad idea this one is.

I think Bloomberg needs to focus on creating jobs, thats right jobs instead of installing red lights cameras on every street corners. Have the cops do their jobs for the sake of the city. Please ban Bloomberg from office. His job is done for now.

That is not a problem. Most cameras in Brooklyn have been “corrected” to take pictures of the sky or a brick wall.

Or just go out and buy that black film that goes over the license plate like most city cops put on their personal vehicle.

Don’t let his low voice fool you, this man is and always be a BUSINESS man. What does a business man do to his pockets again people? Exactly, more Dough in his own pockets. This is one slick @#@#$.

It’s all about the money.

Doomberg wants to release a list of lawmakers with guts and conscience? Do it! Being on that list is abadge of honor! We need to know who the good ones are and not these wanna be stalinists who see no end to the surveillance of the American people.

If Bloomberg would use some the money to have traffic engineers study and correct the timing on a lot of the lights…at some intersection in Manhattan if you wait until you’ve got green AND can clear the box..you could spend a half hour at some intersections. Yesterday on 10th Ave, when 35th got green, a bunch of busses would turn onto 10th..there goes my space when i get the green…what are you supposed to do????

I hate Bloomberg lets put a camera on him 24-7!!! MF!!

Manhattan is already in a much worse shape. Used to be there was little parking space for everyone but not anymore (with bikelanes) only 3 cars can be parked in a block on one side of the street (more business for parking garage charging 21.95 an hour). This is just one example of his failed policies. With the presstitute on his side and ready to tow his lines, Mr. mayor thinks he can do anything he wants.

YOUR DEPUTY MAYOR STEVEN GOLDSMITH QUIT AND WHEN BACK TO THE HOLE HE CRAWLED OUT FROM, MAYBE IT”S TIME FOR YOU TO GO BACK TO BOSTON………..DON”T WORRY I”LL MAKE SURE WE NAME A BIKE LANE AFTER YOU…..

Free up cops to do what?- Rape women while their partners sleep in the living room

Thank goodness Manhattan’s little dictator has no idea of the existence of the other boroughs. Does anyone really think he would stop at looking at just cars passing through red lights once he has cameras installed on every intersection?

If Bloomberg was so worried about drivers running red lights, he should increase the yellow time to help cars clear the intersection instead of playing Simon Says with drivers who are faced with pucnhing it through or risk being rear ended by standing on the brakes. It’s a proven fact increasing yellow times reduces collisions.

Of course this will never happen as the city will lose revenue and the cameras will not generate enough to sustain themselves.

worst mayor ever, who keeps voting for this jerk?

After witnessing a multiple car pile up on 2nd Ave n 81st this past week , where an innocent by stander was trapped in between 2 cars, I applaud the Mayor’s action. Having fostered a puppy this past year and being out and about ; I can tell ypu that reckless driving is pervasive, cops writing parking tickets and those on the strret beat seem to ignore blatant violations ! Again this Mayor has continued to show action towards improving the quality of life for all NYorkers !! another ie bldg smoke conversions… I wish I could vote for him again, even w/ reservations about stacking the Housing Board w/ pro landlord appointees.

Of course this is a revenue grab. A lawsuit has to be filed to challenge the legality of the red light cameras just as it was done in LA, where the courts have ruled the red light cameras are not legal and drivers don’t have to pay the fines.

Don’t you see that this has already been decided ? Did you think that the displayed numerical count down system now being installed on pedestrian crosswalk signs was to help the elderly safely cross the street ? No, it is to assist in His arguement that the proposed legislation is fair ! This lunatic mayor and his like minded group would put cameras in our toilets if they could.

beat it dude. you have out lived your 15 mins of fame.

Also, We Do NOT NEED REd Light Cameras.

We need WIDER STREETS without the enormous potted plants that people just dart out of while j-walking. And why put a parking lane in the middle of a street. So that traffic will get so jammed up that DRIVERS GET STUCK UNDER A RED LIGHT because there is NO WIGGLE ROOM.

I wish he would release the names, so I can write everyone of them a thank you letter from the citizens of New York City.
