Right on red? Not if there’s a camera
A New Jersey legislator wants to ban right turns on red at intersections with red light cameras.
State Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, said the restriction is needed to protect the many motorists who slow down, but don’t come to a full stop, when making such turns.
Those drivers often receive costly tickets because red light cameras consider them to be breaking the law
“I feel that motorists should not be allowed to turn right on red,” Turner said Tuesday. “That will cut down on a lot of the tickets being issued.”
The legislator also said her measure would help build pressure to remove the cameras, which can be popular with local officials because they generate cash through tickets. (Cooney, Courier-Post)

Maybe State Senator Turner should just cut to the chase and introduce legislation to ban traffic light cameras.
