This is a good way to earn more money for GOV. Plus people will start obeying traffic laws. a lot that we see everyday in traffic. Run the red light, never use turn signal, broken or non functioning turn or park lights, one eyed jack head light with high beam substitute for driving, cell phone user, and a lot more. California has this system a lot of people obey the road law. If people don't obey and create accident good job, more money for Gov and Insurance, possible remove their drivers license and lastly impound the vehicle.
Yes, I am for it. Here is one way to look at it... compare it to your family's swear jar. Each time you, or your family member says something that is not allowed in your home, that family member has to contribute a certain amount to the swear jar. Eventually, all those coins collected in your family's swear jar can be used for something new and exciting YOUR family, or even to make something better that YOUR family already has! So yes, I hope that this will be done. If we make a wrong move at a traffic light, we should contribute to the swear jar knowing that we just helped provide FREE PE uniforms for middle school students (or something good like that to help us all). The fines from OUR OWN traffic light violations will benefit us right back.
This camera thing will not work. Technology has its flaws and I wouldn't like to receive a ticket due to a malfunctioned camera. It's not going to work and a waste of taxpayers money.
Why would youoan your car to someone that doesn't abide by traffic laws and presents a danger to society? If you do so, you're a guilty party by association.
I would like to say yes to get all the lawbreakers, but also no because there's alot of laws that almost all peace officers maybe can't or won't enforce 1. Lack off resources,2. Manpower,3. In house disputes, 4. Powertrip, etc. First enforcement , we all want the best for our children, but we don't discipline them like we got when we were little. Imagine our elders going through the war. All the expect is respect for them and others and do the right thing to others then eventually done to us. Nowadays it's all I, me . Remember the past is part of our future. Let's all change for the better for all not for one or the other. We're all in this together so make it count. Respect i MANAMKO Yan i manhoben. Si yu'os ma'ase. Yan ti mama iguana si yu'os. God bless everyone.
So many dumb excuses/questions on what if, & they tried it (insert location) and it didn't work. Must be coming from those who are regularly running red lights and don't want to be caught. Why not mention the places where it's working as designed, deterring drivers from running red light. I'm sure if you regularly run red lights and get your picture taken a few times, you will stop unless you have so much money that you don't care.
Not a good idea in my opinion. Let's say I loan my car to a friend or family member and they inadvertently run a red light. Am I going to get the ticket in the mail? Will I be the one liable for the ticket and my flawless driving record be tarnished because of the acts of others. This is just going to open up a Pandora box of problems. What we need are more police officers policing these areas, not cameras.
wow! Singapore has this systems for 20 years. works good.
Guam So Behind .
Too many Offensive DRIVERS and DISCIPLINE
Traffic cameras WOULD be a great deterrent. But, go just a step further...allow police to reference camera violations as probable cause to check for valid insurance and registration, with the ability to cite for those also. GPD has many vacancies. They should re-structure to allow a Traffic Enforcement Team dedicated to motor vehicle violations. I have seen this be very successful in other departments.
I voted no. Not until they adjust and fix the timing on all the stop lights on Guam!!. They are ridiculously out of sync. Are there any officials who drive between 7am to 8;30am and 4pm to 6:30pm on weekdays here? traffic is ridiculous because of the traffic lights being out of sync! Those so called sensors that determine if there is a vehicle waiting for a green light don't even work anymore.
Of course ! I'm all for it.
I've seen too many times these "Idiots" run the red lights.
When I was in the US Army stationed in Germany, I was speeding downtown Kaiserlautern and I saw a flash of light......a few days later I got a speeding ticket in the mail.... I learned my lesson after that.
We should have at least 5 placed at the busiest intersections.
Purpose:
Deterrent
Investigate criminal activities
Revenue
I say waste of government funds, so if l follow a group of car's during a funeral and no Mayors employees directing and continue the flow of convoy, ran a red light am l going to get a ticket. I have followed police car in front of me doing 35 to 40 miles in a 25 mile zone, so it don't matter what happens. Areas are common are dead mans curve, Agat and area that's posted 25 miles speed zone. Wake up GPD for those who don't follow your law.
Get GMH out of debt with the fines. Within 5 years Gov Guam could be debt free.
This idea has failed in the US mainland. This does target DRIVERS and then again it doesn't. How will they identify the said driver? If John Smith borrowed my car and ran a red light, not wearing a seat belt, speeding and on his phone, how is he going to get cited? I also believe people will adjust by driving faster to avoid the camera. They should research again and this time study on how it has failed. Who here wants some PRIVATE to have access to information like this? Don't think with your heart Mr. Senator, think with your head.
No, gov Guam will install the system at a ridiculous cost. Then it will screw up just like the start water enters from gwa and start giving bogus tickets, the how will you dispute it. It's a picture of you car. Or the system will fail and wasted money again. Cops need to get out there and do their job. Watch how fast and abundant they are when there is an accident. But how often do you see the on patrol? They say they eyed more they hired more where are they. We even have a highway patrol, where are they they should be patrolling. Excuses excuses, Did you get you ack bill from GWA you should not e billed for a defective meter it should be replaced. Buy gas ad let the pump say 20 dollars, but the cashier says you owe 200 because the meters broken. Take your photo and you owe money, no way.
It is a bad idea. This idea was tried in Hawaii. in the early 2000's. In the first month 26,000 tickets were issued.Yes that's right, i didn't stutter . That would take more 10 years or more to catch everything up for that one month.
We need Police Officers out there doing the job one car and one driver at a time. Person to person and face to face on each stop.
The Government is not the answer, because they will just barrow $250 million and throw the money to their friends and relatives, instead of solving the problem.
There could be a better solution. Since we don't have enough Police Officers, or Guam Government employees that can figure this problem out. The insurance companies working with the AG's, office and Police, could simply impound the vehicles of these drivers, who continue to drive without a license or insurance.
When a vehicle is used in the commission of a crime in the rest of the entire United States and Puerto Rico, they impound these vehicles to get the driver and the car off the road. This could also pave the way for better public transportation.
As far as the complaint about drivers from off island being the source of bad drivers, well you can say that all that you want, but it really is not true. It's about 50/50. How many deaths have been caused by a member, members spouse, or members relative of the Navy or Air Force this year? I left the Army out, because most of those members are local and are definitely the cause in many cover ups of the exact description stated by Mr. Alvarez.
I'm from Guam but now live in the mainland. On a recent month long visit back home I've noticed some people just don't know what they are doing on the road. I've never seen more red light running in that one month, than I've seen anywhere else. I don't mean the usual trying to beat the yellow; I mean the blatant running red after its turned for 3+ seconds. It is dangerous and irresponsible. Speed is a factor because no one follows the rules of the passing lane. Slower cars should be on the right. Living on the mainland now I can see how accidents happen so frequently back home. No one knows how to drive and texting and driving is out of control.
No. It failed in California it caused more accidents because drivers would rush through an intersection to avoid the cameras instead of stopping.
YES, they should they have it in the mainland, I hope this will cut down on accidents like this. Also people should understand that crosswalks has the right of way.
Speed is always a factor for accidents. If we go slow enough we can avoid accidents. What scares me is these off island drivers from the mainland who just cannot seem to adjust to the 35 mph speed limit.
Too many times these impatient drivers tailgate me until they can pass me, then they speed up to 60 plus mph. GPD can make a ton of money by using this technology. Place it up outside the front gate to AAFB and watch the cash cow go. Funny though on base these mainland drivers comply with the speed limit .Once outside the gate they go beserk. They comply with on base laws but are willing to break local law. I say yes, let's do this.
