Well I was playing the wall earlier.... I tend to agree with many of the comments made but refrained from saying initially. Normally when I support traffic penalties, i get flamed!

We're obviously all very law abiding here

Tho I have to admit going through on the amber once in a while...I think I'm chancing it and then look in the mirror and see perhaps two cars coming through behind me :eek:

According to PSNI Website

Red Light Running Cameras operate in the following locations:

• Great Georges Street at the Junction of York Street / West Link, Belfast
• College Avenue at the Junction of Castle Street / Millfield / Divis Street, Belfast
• Nelson Street at the Junction of York Street / York Link, Belfast
• Millfield at the Junction of Peters Hill / Carrick Hill / North Street, Belfast
• Middlepath Street at the Junction of the M3 on slip, Belfast

But I thought there was one on Sydenham By Bass at the Dee Sreet turnoff!

The habit of running red lights is, from what I've observed, related to the amount of traffic on the roads. More traffic = more impatient drivers = more red lights jumped etc. This was common practice in Dublin for years before I noticed it here.

Just passed it again this evening, both speed camera and road tax camera are still there, unless they're being removed?

I regularly drive around these areas and it is terrifying the number of drivers who drive through those lights. They aren't just in 30 mph zones but the junctions where M3, M2 and Westlink meet and people are flying through red lights at 70/80 MPH. Accidents are not being avoided solely through the delay in the other lights turning green but because the other drivers are slamming on their breaks trying to not hit the suicidal idiots. I'm not saying slow down on a green light but be prepared to stop. If you want to kill yourself do it, don't go out on the road and take others with you.
