I witnessed an accident last month, almost was a part of it, when someone
ran a red light at Fair Oaks and Wolf. I saw that the guy wasn't going to
stop and checked up. The gal next to me didn't see him coming and was hit
45 degrees from head on due the angle that Wolfe joins Fair Oaks there. Saw
the collision from my car in the lane next to her. Set off both her airbags
and the driver airbag in the car that ran the light. Both cars were
undrivable. That stoplight I notice now has an auxilliary small red light
facing the opposite direction of the signal so cops can sit there and watch
for red light runners.

[snipped "Warning"]
I guess I don't get the point of the message... Running a red light is
dangerous, stupid and illegal! So why does a warning need to be sent out
listing the locations of the detectors and the times when the police are
watching???? Morons running red lights should be thankful if they only
get a ticket, instead of doing property damage, maiming someone or sending
someone (possibly themselves) off in a body bag!
