With cameras watching what goes on, rule breakers will finally get what they deserve. People have to be held responsible for what they do, especially when it has an immense impact on the entire community.

Aggressive driving causes car crashes. Knowing there is a camera will slow most people down at a stoplight.

Peter Nawrocki

Photo enforcement is a concrete way to restore lawfullness on the roadways, with numerous cities and programs with data that support the use of such enforcement. While the ACLU still has it backwards on red light cameras, these actually GUARANTEE EQUALITY by only ticketing actual law breakers!

I live off Cooley and am at the intersection of Cooley and 97 often. I have seen so many people run that light. It's a very unsafe intersection and having speeding cameras there would be a wonderful way to curb that behavior.

Alot cheaper then roundabouts

Missi Baldwin

it may, but having "Big Brother" watching all the time in an infringement of our privacy!!!!

Paco Goldblatt

No one is watching if you don't break the law, so turn off your iphone and put down your jumbo soy latte.

Brian Klein

Sure will.

This is a huge ploy to over ticket the citizens and will NOT because it didn't change the driving habits but what it did do, it lead to over 100,000 Oregon citizens who had their license suspended because of citation debt. I'm talking to all you who fall in a low income category!

Too much of an intrusion into personal liberty.

Paco Goldblatt

Violating traffic laws is no liberty where I come from .

Lynn Huntley

People are becoming more lawless. Get a ticket, Throw in glove box. Ignore the law again. No real enforcement. Privacy? If you aren't doing anything wrong, why object to cameras anywhere?

Maybe a few, but only for otherwise law-abiding citizens. I suspect most red-light runners don't care and tickets won't stop them from speeding.

People pay no attention to speed limits in our neighborhood and it's very dangerous, in need of more enforcement!

I think 25 speed is to fast for our street it is a dead end.

Cathie Crawford

Cars drive 40+ up and down our residential street and the city will not put speed limit signs up. The traffic is constant and we all have to cross to pick up mail -guess someone has to get hit first.

Christine Towne Gibson

We live off of maple & 22nd st. And we hear people ripping down maple like their house is on fire! It’s so bad and as a mama to three little ones I’m concerned.

Howard Phillips

they think Deschutes Market Rd is a Freeway. (55 +). And they are passing dangerously.

People going 5-10 mph UNDER the speed limit is far more troublesome..
