The Weekend Sun, page 3, June 2, 2017 states that Tauranga won't be getting red light cameras because the city doesn't meet the criteria. What the hell? What that criteria is, no one will say.

Tauranga is the fastest growing city with numbers of residents swelling every week as people move here from Auckland and beyond. Has anyone driven out to Omokoroa lately?

I thought we already had red light cameras on several intersections along Cameron Rd but I was informed they're for counting traffic not picking up red light runners. All these years I've been worried if I over-ran the orange light. Doesn't matter, I won't get a ticket. Maybe that's why so many drivers flout this road rule.

I read an article a while back about red light runners at Cameron Rd intersections stating the number of drivers who commit this offence. It had photos of cars halfway through these intersections on red lights. So if we don't already have red light cameras what was that news article about? And if we don't – why don't we?

This traffic offence, along with drivers using cell phones while driving appears not to matter anymore. So many drivers still use cell phones while driving. It is blatantly obvious that the transport police are either not too concerned about either offence or just don't give a rat's butt.
