Replyhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19664425 This is a summary to the leading scientific study: Increased number of total accidents and no measurable safety benefit -- even after the author included in the meta-regression analysis a bunch of unscientific "studies" performed by the camera companies themselves!

ReplyThe "National Coalition for Safer Roads" is nothing but a public relations vehicle entirely funded by the red light camera vendor ATS, and their pronouncements are worthless. Why would Mr.Kelly not mention that in his article? The real academic literature shows no safety benefit from red light cameras, see Erke's meta analysis of the literature.

You're not allowed to....Yes the requirements for pension funding are quite onerous, but that is mostly because the pensions themselves are too. . Efficiency? FedEx Express has an infrastructure that allows it to deliver letters and packages on an express basis around virtually the entire world (while also carrying much of the USPS load) with half the employees and half the budget of the US-only USPS , all while UPS and DHL compete with it fiercely. True not exactly apples and apples, but still....
