Cameras on lamp posts, Los Angeles

Recommended Posts

I just moved to LA and noticed these cameras at intersections.

Does anyone know what they are? Is it big brother? Local police? Caltrans? Are they tracking people by their vehicles?

For Traffic control

They have become popular at school corners here and when they were first installed over the summer they were fantastic. When no cars were waiting at the cross street, the light would stay green and only turn red when cars came. For that particular corner it was very needed because often times traffic would be held up for absolutely no cars coming from the cross street. Somewhere along the way it got switched back to timing control and now we're back to waiting for nothing. In the wee hours of the morning when I'm coming home from work I simply go through the red, slowly and cautiously of course. It's ridiculous to sit there for nothing. They work well...when the morons have them set right and leave them be.
