How do we get th film , the other car a small Prism was traveling at a high rate of speed , hit the front quarter panel , drivers side , Hit so hard flipped the Toyota Crew cab , flipping this 2 and 1/2 times until it hit concrete overpass .
This was there fault , the way they drew this up makes me look at fault but that is not what happened , that driver seemed to be drinking but not sure , he also was traveling at least 50 or more .

He had skid marks at least 25 ft , had the light turned Red , witch I could not see as it had just turned yellow when I went threw . I am sure yellow when he hit me going at that speed .

Any help . Please let me know . I have insurance , but times have been hard and only carried collision , I drive safely at all times .

Thank You ~ this is very impotent . Any other help please let me know. Mark

My whole point is that since I haven driven one of those intersections every working day for about 12 years, I have a pretty good feel for the flow and I’ve never seen a problem that would justify a camera remedy.

At the one I drive every day I have never seen a crash; I have never seen any one running the light and I have never seen a cop handing out tickets.

One would think if this intersection were such a problem I would have seen some evidence of it over the past 12 years.

What I have seen is that these particular intersections can get so balled up with traffic that it is very easy to find yourself stuck in the intersection after the light has changed.

The city is quite clearly exploiting the poor design of the intersections to extort cash from drivers.

Unreasonabley low speed limits should stop being enforced. The attention should be placed upon more important things such as cracking down on tailgating.

Please everybody keep a safe following distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.

As far as red light cameras I think its a great idea to deter red light running just as long as the speed limit is reasonable & prudent and the yellow lights are set in accordance with the reasonable speed limit for that area. This will let the reasonable drivers off the hook while it catches the reckless red light runners. For me whenever I am at a stop light and it turns green I still always check left and right just in case there is a reckless red light runner.

Two of them are within a mile of my house so I travel both intersections regularly. I have lived in San Diego long enough to remember when those insections either didn’t exist or didn’t have lights.

But I have never seen or heard of an accident at either one. Not saying it hasn’t happened, but they are both fairly low-speed intersections with good visibility. That doesn’t mean low speed limits–the limit is 35 in both places–that means it is almost impossible to go that fast on these roads.

BUT! That’s not all! Both of these intersections are a little complicated and because of poor design and signage, difficult to navigate. They also have very heavy traffic loads and are easily gridlocked.

Yes, once again, it is perfectly obvious the RLC placement has nothing to do with fixing accident-prone intersections, and everything to do with suckering drivers who are probably destracted with NOT crashing, into crossing the limit line at just the wrong moment.

I ride my brakes now when I approach those intersections. If that light turns yellow, I’m stopping. Period. If I get ass-ended, both of us are suing.
