Hello,
is the camera in the photos a normal traffic surveillance camera or an actual red-light speed enforcement camera?
It is mounted high on the pole. Thank you!

So i have been driving for over a decade, in recent 4-5 years i've developed this 'get to the destination asap' habit, dont even feel like wasting a second for slowing driver or traffic hoggers that get in my way. I dont considered myself as reckless driver by rather an efficient driver with common sense. But lately i realized i despise myself being this way, where i constantly overtake slow drivers, cursing, shouting and rushing to the destination without any purpose. The worst thing is i feel my mental health and wellbeing have been deteriorating significantly due to constant anger while driving. To date, whenever i drive, i find myself suffocating (difficult to breath or holding breath) the whole time until I arrived the destination. Any of you with similar experience and how you guys overcome it?
Going from upstate SC to Walterboro (Lowcountry SC).
I walk a lot. Prefer walking an average of 4.5 miles a day. I recently moved to Ohio. And I suddenly faced a huge problem.
I've been living in Michigan before this, and I only lived in the city, clear pavements and walking paths. The Detroit riverfront had me covered for my walking schedule. And the area I moved to is the Suburbs in Ohio.
There's certainly a community walking loop with those small fountains and parks here. But I prefer the dam trails that's nearby. But here's the problem.
To get there, I have to walk alongside the road which goes over a national freeway. And the road doesn't have any pedestrian path or even a clear space on the other side of the white solid lines.
I've only gone to the dam trails once because of this. And I'm getting very sick of the neighborhood loop. Is going by car to the front of the Dam trails the only option? I really don't want to do that. But I'm also really sick of not being able to get a good walk. Welcome any suggestions or advice.
I’m a Floridian who was driving in TN last week while on vacation. I was driving on US 64 and didn’t realize the speed limit dropped from 55mph to 45mph. I was also going downhill and didn’t realize my speed had increased. I thought I was going 65 in a 55 (yes, still speeding and that’s wrong), but an officer from Polk County apparently clocked me going 72 in a 45. He gave me a speeding ticket vs a reckless driving charge. This is my first ever ticket and I would have never intentionally done 25+ over the speed limit.
Do I have any chance of reducing this? If I hire an attorney to try to negotiate this down, could they retaliate and charge we with reckless driving instead? I’m so anxious about this.
As someone who lives in the city, guys with traffic whistles are so completely unnecessary. I hear them for hours while events are going and everyone ignores them anyway. Also it’s 95°F out, they should just go home.
Literally there are going to be traffic conductors with whistles for over 5 hours in preparation for a CHRIS BROWN concert. Like do you realize how frustrating that is to listen to these whistles because a woman beater is in this city
And emergency vehicle sirens are incredibly annoying. I haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in two years living here (and yes I’m moving). But they truly do NOT need to be so loud. I went to japan for 17 days in tokyo, the sirens were way quieter but people still respected them and always moved over.
New driver in IL, confused about middle turn lanes Can you use the center middle lane to make a U-turn, or do you need to go around the block instead? I thought these lanes only appeared near streets, alleys, or driveways where cars could enter or exit. But I've seen them in spots with no cross street or alley nearby, which made me wonder if U-turns are actually allowed there too.
And I’m also wondering why people turn like a turtle when they have a green arrow to turn left or right. Like they will turn and maybe go 5mph. I really despise when someone doesn’t use a turn signal until they are making their turn or when someone leaves theirs on for miles.
I really thought the bus would finish the turn and stop properly. Did not think it would stop in the middle of the intersection.
I see that my mistake was not stopping after seeing the red lights. But is it possible I don’t get a ticket?

How likely is it to not get a ticket after a flash? It was red for maybe a second, I didn’t see it turn yellow early enough. Any advice is appreciated
Hi, I recently passed the road test exam and gotten a paper copy of the license. Unfortunately, I lost it. Is it okay to drive on the road with a picture of the paper license? What should I do ?
Location: Kansas
Hello I am in Ohio and in NE Ohio there is a city called Willoughby Hills which sent me a speeding ticket from a camera operated by an officer. I am quite sure that on that freeway there were no officers cruiser or even a sign that said speed limit camera enforced.
I have seen many people say that challenge it and or ignore it but I don’t want it to go to collection and or impact my credit.
If I were to take it to court how would I deal with the court/judge because it was me and my friends driving and I do not remember who was driving.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I am having a discussion with someone and we cannot seem to agree on who is more in the wrong, I would love some outside perspective. I've got 2 scenarios, both of which happen within the city and not out on a fast highway. (Visuals included)
Scenario 1:
Car A (Green), Car B (Red).
2 lanes, but turns to 3 after a hill and curve. Car A is in the right lane, going faster than the flow of traffic. Speed limit is 45mph, flow of traffic is going 44-45mph. Car A merges to the left, accelerates to 50-53, and is still planning on moving back to the right once finished passing. As Car A is passing traffic, Car B is coming up from behind, swerving in and out of lanes going faster than Car A at around 60mph. Car B comes up behind Car A while they are passing traffic to their right, and tailgates Car A until Car A has merged back to the right, at which point car B speeds back up, and the speed limit turns to 40, then 35 after a stoplight. Car A does not go slower than the rest of traffic at any point besides Car B.
•Is Car A impeding traffic?
•Does Car A or Car B have more "right of way" because they are going faster? (if that makes sense)
•Should Car A speed up even more past the speed limit solely for the purpose to let Car B pass sooner and then slow back down once they move back over, OR should they stay at the same speed they were already going while passing and continue that speed once they move back over and Car B passes as long as no one is in front of them?
Scenario 2:
Car A (Green), Car B (Yellow), Car C (Red)
3 lanes. Limit 35 mph. Traffic in right lane going at or around 35mph, traffic in center lane going 40mph, left lane completely free. Car A and Car B are passing traffic in the right lane using the center lane and are at correct or slightly less than optimal following distance and there are only 1 or 2 cars in front of Car A. Car C merges from right lane into center lane between Car A and Car B. Car C tailgates Car A and has to keep pressing brakes. Center lane is still passing traffic that is going in right lane. Car C does not merge into left lane to pass and continues to tailgate way too closely and have to ride their brakes.
•Is center lane/Car A impeding traffic?
•Should Car C move into left lane to pass?
•Do any of the cars that were in the center lane before Car C merged need to move if they are still passing traffic in the right lane?
Thank you for your participation.
What are these devices used for on a traffic light?
If you’re at a stoplight that’s green, and one car want to make a right turn into a 2 lane road, and oncoming traffic wants to make a left turn who has the right of way? The car turning right can turn right into either lane or does the car turning right have to turn into the right lane and the car turning left turn into the left lane at the same time? This is in Pennsylvania
I understand that the stop sign is for other cars.
But if there is no stop sign and pedestrians are crossing with white lines are they supposed to stop?
This angry driver going above the speed limit in a residential neighborhood screamed at me for crossing because there was no stop sign. Even though he’s doing 25 in a school zone!
Edit: I am not the driver. The driver is arguing that without a stop sign he doesn’t have to stop his vehicle for the pedestrian (me) crossing even with white lines
Hi everyone,
I got my first speeding citation in Texas / the U.S. in The Colony, TX. The ticket says I was going **41 mph in a 30 mph zone** on **6500 Morning Star Dr**.
Here’s the issue: I checked the City of The Colony speed-limit ordinance, and it appears to list:
**Morning Star Drive — From State Highway 121 Southbound frontage road to Memorial Drive — 35 mph**
I also have dashcam footage from the route, and I do not see a 30 mph speed-limit sign after the turn. My citation also says no school zone, no construction zone, and no temporary/construction condition.
I want to ask whether I should request the court/prosecutor to review the posted speed limit first.
My questions:
I’m not trying to ignore the ticket. I just want to handle it correctly and avoid a conviction on my record. Any advice from people who have dealt with Texas traffic citations would be appreciated.
Got pulled over for allegedly running a red light, but my dashcam clearly shows I entered on yellow and was already in the intersection when it turned red. I was also doing speed limit, 27 in 35 when crossing the intersection.
Officer still stopped me but ended up letting me go with only a warning (no ticket). Now I dont know if he logged it in the system or no.
I’m honestly pissed because it felt like an unfair stop.
I’ve never been pulled over before and have a completely clean driving record.
Is it worth filing a complaint over this or just letting it go? Can I even complain about this? Reason I want to complain is, his “warning” might show up if I ever get pulled over again.
Note: I had my 8-month pregnant wife and 14-month-old son in the car, so I would not intentionally run a red light ever.
