I prefer speed cameras. I think red light cameras can have their place, but I would question how they're being used if they're leading to such an increase in traffic accidents. Everything I've read has indicated that, while rear-end collisions may increase, there should be a relative decrease in side collisions. That said, correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, so there could be other reasons for the increase.
If FL drivers are so bad (and so prone to breaking the law) that they are actually causing more accidents in situations like this, I think maybe the better approach would be to have police officers step up their enforcement. Eventually, people will learn they have to slow down when a light is amber - not speed up.
