I never understand why people run lights they never last very long a few minutes at best,sure does beat the alternative happening!

It is called not paying attn. Another bad place for people that run lights and not paying attn is at 15th street and Riverwatch

I find when I am out on the road that people are just plain rude and have total disregard for other people on the road. I don't know how many times people have pulled out in front of me or cut me off without ever using a signal. Signals are equipped in vehicles for a reason and most people are to frigging lazy to use one............and the authorites don't care...........

Last week there was an artical in the Augusta Chronicle about the Sheriff's Department and how they had a decline in the speeding in Richmond County and the decline also contributed to the decrease in traffice accidents. Well if they want to have a decline in accidents they should start wiriting tickets for running red lights. To get a traffic ticket in Richmond County you have to really do something outstanding. You will not get a ticket for running a red light unless you T-bone someone. Check any light at a major intersection in Richmond County for one hour at any time of the day and you will see many people run the light.

If the Richmond County Sheriff's office worte tickets for running red light then they would have the funds needed to hire deputies and build a new jail.

What's an "artical"?

My thoughts exactly, CoastalDawg!

Ever traffic light should have video cameras installed to catch people running red lights. Think of the revenue initially and after awhile people will not run red lights.

Sorry.. Every traffic light should have video cameras installed to catch people running red lights. Think of the revenue initially and after awhile people will not run red lights.

hope your pockets are over running with money for who do you thinks going to pay for the camera's to be installed and for the camera's. You people can't beleave some one can actually run a red light with out ever seeing it. Like you are perfect and have never made a mistake and haven't paid for it. And now you want that to pay more.
