Last I visited Gurnee I seen signs for the latest Candidates claiming they can and will get rid of the red light cameras that are plaguing some of the Great America Visitors.
All I can say is that they're going to have a very hard time convincing The Village Board based on the statistics listed here:
I hate those cameras. It is almost impossible to get to SFGAm without encountering atleast one. I don't trust them at all. I especially hate ones that are located at intersections where I turn right on red.

Opinions? Discuss.
You are the only person that thinks redlight cameras should stay. I personally hate them, especially as previously mentioned at intersections where you have to make a right turn on red.
There was a study done that actually showed that the lights caused more accidents from people slamming on their brakes than actually running the lights. That being said I want the cameras gone.

^ Agreed. And I've taken hundreds on rights on red with RLC's and never once gotten a ticket. If you actually stop at the line, wait and then turn there is nothing to worry about. Most people forget the stop and wait part.
No one is patient enough to wait in long lines to get out of the park, heck most of us hate long lines for rides but we wait anyway. There are maniacs that go to the park and people who try to act like a bada**, its only an amusement park. Act your own age, act like adults, behave like a civilized normal person and we can all avoid this nonsense and you can save yourself some money while your at it.

I read that in Arizona they just increased the time of yellow lights and that fixed the problem.

I have unpaid Gurnee Red Light fines, and unpaid Illinois Tollway fines...there is a reason why I don't hang around Illinois longer then I have to. I hope these things go away fast.

Illinois has one of the biggest debts out of any state in the US so I think thats why you have those tickets. They give tickets to anyone for almost anything, especially if its close to the end of the month. *cough cough* quota, quota *cough cough*
