On top of that, the Maricopa County (covers all of Phoenix metro area) Attorney has stated that he will not bring criminal speeding charges (which in the case of highways means above 85mph; the limit in the metro areas are either 55 or 65) claiming it would be "unconstitutional" because "you can’t cross-examine a camera". If that sounds silly to you, it also sounded silly to Arizona's attorney general. read all about it: http://azbikelaw.org/blog/dps-says-photo-radar-major-factor-in-drastic-fatality-reduction/ In Arizona this is hugely controversial — particularly the speed enforcement on the highway.

The intersections are so large that most drivers understand and take advantage of the time delay of the drivers who just got the green light. So at least three cars can easily and successfully run the red light and everyone speeds up at the sight of a yellow light. Slowing down for a yellow light puts fears of being slammed from behind and we all looked at how many cars were behind us in doing such. Carheads don't want to be reminded on how selfish and foolish their everyday behavior has become. The habit of running red lights is just a small part of this package.
