Re: God Damn Green Light Cameras....grrr
Coming in on 9th ave this am following a nice looking 911sc who was going pretty quick. As he passed through the intersection by the ford dealer I saw a flash so I hit the brakes.. Thanks for the heads up little sc.John

Re: God Damn Green Light Cameras....grrr
So, has anyone actually gone to the trouble of showing up and challenging a speed on green ticket because of other cars being in the photo?
... based on the comments so far, I am guessing the answer is NO, b/c everyone sees the lane number at the top of the photo and figures it's indisputable. I'm just wondering if anyone tried fighting...
It's interesting in this herald story, they mention how in Arizona (Mesa, a Phoenix suburb) they don't issue tickets when there's more than one vehicle in a photo.2012 Golf R

That's because some traffic cameras use a different system that other vehicles could interfere. Calgary, you have two induction loops under the pavement, the time it takes to cross that is recorded, and your speed is calculated. This is done in each individual lane. You were speeding, man up, and pay it.sigpic
