In a decision that is overwhelmingly the result of the hard work and dedication of one person, Los Angeles is ending its revenue-generating red-light camera scheme.
Here’s Jay Beeber’s interview with Reason TV.
If you’re interested, this post has more information about how red-light cameras make intersections more dangerous.
It’s probably an exaggeration to say that Jay Beeber is an American hero, but he definitely deserves accolades of some kind.
Let’s not forget, though, that the voters of Houston also deserve some applause.

Great work on Mr. Beebers part to get rid of the cameras. I question his solution to people running red lights. It may very well be that there is a drastic decrease in the number of people breaking the law the day after lengthening the yellow light. I’ll guarantee you that as soon as people figure out that the yellow is longer even more people will sneak through during the yellow.
