Fair game & easy money. Studies show that accidents are up at intersections where cameras are placed. People slam on the brakes to avoid a ticket, and get rear-ended.

Sure they're fair. Driving is a privilege, not a right, and traffic lights are there to create a safe driving environment. If people choose to break the law by running red lights, they endanger other drivers and they put their driving privilege at risk.

I do, even though I've been caught twice in a former city I lived in. The first time I was almost through and I fined anyway. Of course I wasn't too happy, but the camera isn't biased.

Should I move closer to work?

They don't take into consideration a variety of factors involved and they really don't fix the underlying problem, which usually boils down to very poorly timed traffic lights. They're installing cameras rather than tweaking the lights on a major road near where I live, which isn't really going to solve anything. Having 5 traffic lights for one shopping plaza is not only unnecessary, but a major factor in road rage in the area. The yellows are also extremely short, compared to other lights in the area on this road, which is setting people up for failure and rear end collisions. Even if you're doing under the speed limit and you're at the solid lane lines before the intersection and KNOW you can't stop in time to not be in the intersection, the light turns red within about a second or two after yellow, instead of 3-5 seconds like other lights in the area, so you end up technically blowing the light, even though the odds are stacked against you.

Why no one in city of London challenges the proposed charges by the Mayor of London.?

I'm not necessarily against them, they just need to be tweaked and the underlying problems need to be solved, and ONLY THEN when people just blatantly blow the light for the sake of blowing the light, these people should be fined. You have a better chance of hitting the lottery than hitting a light green on the road mentioned, which is unreasonable as there are only two other major roads in the area. The rest lead into little neighborhoods or shopping plazas.

when you see a sign for?

Definitely. Staffing a police force is costly so anything that keeps costs down and allows us to dedicate more officers to more serious matters such as violent crime, robbery, rape, etc. is a good thing in my opinion. Besides, running red lights is an incredibly dangerous practice (typically a complement to speeding), gaining a driver a few seconds at the risk of seriously injuring or killing other people. Yellow traffic signal already means stop if it is safe to do so.
