If you look up, you'll see cameras at all the major intersections on 466 and 466A. I have mixed emotions about them. Are they accurate? Do they catch the offender or tag the car that came just before or just after? What is their threshold for citing a driver? If drivers know they are there, it should fulfill its purpose of slowing traffic. But it just seems a little too much Big Brother/1984 for my taste.
