Goals of traffic cameras

One of the biggest myths about traffic cameras is that their one and only goal is to create revenue from the people getting ticketed. That’s false they were created to protect the public and enforce the law that has been around since we’ve been driving. It’d be the same if we had a police officer at those intersections 24/7 but this way saves the economy money. “So the true goals of the traffic cameras are to reduce instances of angle collisions at selected intersections and reduce instances of red light running at selected intersections (6 Web).”
