    I had an even better idea.

    Replace all stop lines with those nasty spikes that tear your tires up if drice over them. Have them controled to raise when the light is red.

    Bet people would start stopping on Yellows!

      I say go one better.

      Put a GE Mini on top of the camera stalk with anice rotating turret. Any one speeds through, they die.

      On a side note, at the bottom of the page I linked to there is an interesting disection of the minigun used by Gov. Ventura in Predator.
      Return to the free market. Get rid of all government regulations and let society make it's own decisions. Time and again the relaxing of government regulations has increased profits, innovation and the economy.

        actually if your in a city or a suburb most likly what you are seeing up there is called a
        Opticon system. it is for emergency vehicals(fire,ems,PD)

        all the emergency vehicals have a sensor that is activated when there lights are on and it will usually either make all the lights at that intersection red or make the direction they are traveling green. there great.

            Sounds kinda like my trip to new york. I was a young kid at the time so I dont know if my mind has exagerated my memory. When the lights would turn red instead of stopping, the Taxi cabs would just honk their horn and go right thru the red lights. Green light means go, red light means go and honk. Anyone from New York had this experience or should I have left my crack pipe at home that trip.
