Have you wondered if yellow Light$ are getting shorter?
You wouldn’t be wrong. The company that the city of Boulder hired to install red light cameras have shortened the yellow light cycle in order to force you to drive through a red light, have your picture taken and pay an $80 dollar fine. It’s true. It has been happening all over the country. some cities including Dallas Texas have been sued by citizens. Colorado Springs today ordered all red light cameras taken down. Boulder just switched red light camera companies a year ago. The new company constantly changes the yellow light times on different lights to keep drivers off balance. This increases ticket revenues. the company also make their mail look like junk mail so that you won’t pay the initial fine but have to wait to be served by an officer with a summons where the ticket price doubles.
Some police chiefs now argue that shorter yellow lights cause more accidents because people have to slam on their breaks or there isn’t enough time to stop and people will drive through an intersection and get T-boned. Either way it is a fiasco. It is purely criminal. Make sure you call the city and complain. 303-441-3090
