They are currently turned off. I admit that I'm not the best driver in the world. I get distracted by the radio and conversations with passengers. To compensate I tend to drive slower. Twice I was hit (no damage) in the rear while stopping at these Red-Light intersections. The light had turned a stale yellow so I decided to stop. I admit that I probably would have gone if it wasn't for the cameras (I hate paying fines). The drivers behind me didn't expect me to stop. Given this experiance, I doubt they improve safety.
