Our red light cameras are usually at intersections and people tend to know about them because they are always trying to vandalise them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago Yes/no. I've seen every permutation over the years though. Some in the median or on the sidewalk with no warning signage, some with. Some just up a pole somewhere out-of-sight with no warning signage. Some big-ol trailer contraptions complete with police/county seals on the front. I've even seen some that were temporary tripods set up in front of unmarked cars on the shoulder, for some mobile overnight shenanigans. I can't say they're all 100% bad. Just maybe some of the sneakier implementations run afoul of my thesis above. vandalise I don't condone that, but that's kind of convenient! permalink fedilink source parent
