i was driving down stevens creek from say target area towards vallaco.
you know how there is the new fire station?
do they have photo enforced traffic lights at that intersection?
reason why i'm asking is that i ran a 'yellow' (controversial) light, and as soon as i went by it, there was the light that lit up, i'm worried that it might be one of those photo enforced but they didn't have any signs saying photo enforced.
anyone?
i don't wanna pay 200+ for a YELLOW light and have insurance go up.

Just don't run lights....easy.

if it didnt say "photo enforced" then they cant have a camera take a photograph... legally for them is a losing situation.
However since i dont konw that area I wouldnt know. But just for keeps sake.. next time drive safely.. look for signs.

We have a ton of those here (I live in Sunnyvale) .. theres one on nearly every big intersection now. Anyhow, you can usually tell by the big beige cameras or the signs that say $263 for a red-light violation.
