I've never seen so many people running red lights as there is is in Redmond and Bend. Enough money could be made to probably run the police or city budget.

Actually cities lose money with the operation and upkeep of these camera systems. They just installed one in Portland and they said there is no money to be made. The cost of upkeep is higher than the amount of fines that will be paid. It's about safety not money.

If "we the people" establish laws (that includes setting speed limits) than "we the people" should enforce ALL of the laws. Traffic cams are cheap and easy and if you put one every quarter-mile on the Bend Parkway, Bend could earn enough to totally abolish property taxes... ;-)

We could fund a new homeless shelter every week if we put speed cameras on the parkway.

The red light runners and school zone speeders could make the city alot of money if we had the officers to cover

We already have them. I watch them all the time on the ODOT website. We need to keep them.

Love the idea! Too many folks running red lights and endangering the lives of others. Plus, a nice boost to the budget!

Can't depend on people acting responsible. Make some money from the violators. Attach their tax returns.

No, Bend will just raise taxes again. People that are on a fixed income are being forced out of Bend because of prices.

Very invasive and subject to errors.

Error? Many states are successfully using cameras to collect tools for their highways and it's a well-established system. As for "invasive" ... Dude, you're on a PUBLIC road!!!!!!

Lol, they aren't in your bedroom. There is absolutely nothing invasive about it. You just don't want to get caught.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?
