Driving down Vineyard Boulevard and Kapiolani Boulevard recently, I noticed an increasing number of cars stopping at intersections on a yellow light. I used to often see cars speed through these intersections to beat the red light.

I think the red-light cameras are doing what they’re there for, which is to reduce the number of drivers who run through red lights (“Oahu red-light camera sites announced,” Star-Advertiser, Top News, Dec. 2). Drivers who comply will help to create streets that are safer for both cars and pedestrians. Drivers who don’t comply and are caught on camera will pay a fine.

Technology such as this helps to keep the streets safer and reduces arguments over drivers claiming they made it through the intersection before the light turned red. The picture of the infraction says it all.
