RE: Roadtrip: Scottish Highlands Part Five
They tried the traffic cameras in Albuquerque several years back, and there was such an outcry and pushback from the public they removed them about 8 months later.
It was a bonanza in red-light tickets for the city financially, but we at least have (or had) enough control over the quality of our lives to get rid of these damn things. I never got caught by one, but I hated 'em, too. I was surprised we managed to get them removed.
They are everywhere in England, and on the A9 in Scotland exclusively it seems. No amount of complaining would make them vanish here, your lucky!
With enough signatures on a petition, you can get a measure put on the ballot. You can even force a special election, which is not easy, but that's what happened.
