[Nfbf-l] Red light cameras

[Mark Tardif]

Or ask me how I felt after being hit by a car, although this was many years 
ago, by a guy who wasn't paying attention to lights and who then lied about 
it on the police report.  Even with traffic laws, the unfortunate fact is 
that a lot of people simply do not play by the rules, and yes, I hate to say 
it, but there needs to be greater enforcement.  By the way, speaking of 
traffic, at least one of our huge intersections close to home now has a 
talking audible traffic signal.  I have always been uncertain about how I 
feel about those, because the bottom line is that you still need to have 
your mobility skills up there simply because some people don't play by the 
rules.  However, I am finding that if used right, this can be one more tool 
to use to be able to cross the street safely, provided of course that your 
regular mobility skills are at a high level.
