Or here's an idea... learn to drive.
Seriously, over half the people on the road today are idiots. They don't use turn signals, don't know how to merge, they think the passing lane is just a faster travel lane, and they're CONSTANTLY ON THEIR CELL PHONES!
The only person in the world whose driving I truly trust is my own.
Moral of they story: learn to drive before worrying about red lights and speed cameras.

I don't have much of a problem with speed cameras, and if we had red light cameras I wouldn't mind that much either. Don't break the speed limit and don't run red lights, it's not hard.how often do you even drive
However, it does move towards the same argument used to justify surveillance; it's not a problem as long as you don't have anything to hide/guilty until proven innocent. So I don't really like the average speed camera system that monitors your speed across a stretch of road, and I'm not too fond of normal speed cameras either tbh, but the implementation of them where I live is one I'm ok with.
the UK has Amber lights between green and red

In America they're yellow lights, and if you see it, it means one of two things: floor it, or slam on the brakes.

Here in Florida people stop on green lights.....
I had this girl stop on an intersection when green and start texting.....
This technique also works to beat face recognition/tracking over cctvs if you install them under a hat brim pointed down over your face, around a glasses frame or etc.. The nice thing about IR is that it is not noticeable to the eye, and shouldn't appear suspicious so a human police won't notice it.
You can see speed cameras coming a mile away in the UK, I think they were politically pressured to make them yellow and visible to justify their claims about them being a deterrent, despite the protests from sadcase safety groups wanting them to be hidden to catch more people. As a result they're basically a joke.
On a typical motorway in the UK you'll have the furthest left lane with heavy goods vehicles that generally have limiters on them, and people towing caravans etc. doing around 70mph (the legal limit), then in the middle lane you'll have old folks, people with crap cars, etc. doing around 80-90mph (the de-facto limit, only the most anal of traffic police cares about that kind of speed), and then in the right lane you'll have normal people doing 90mph+ Then all of a sudden the entire mass of traffic will start slowing down at once due to the presence of a speed camera, right down to about 70-77mph for a couple of seconds before everyone just as suddenly starts speeding back up. It's utterly pointless, and more dangerous than not having them.
What's getting more common and more annoying are stretches of road with average speed cameras, that record the registrations of all the vehicles entering and then leaving the section, so essentially you have no choice but to drive at the speed limit, otherwise you'll pass the second camera too early to have not been breaking the speed limit. Thankfully they're only really used in places where roadworks are taking place.
I have zero experience with red light cameras, I'm not even sure we have them as I've jumped a lot of red lights and nothing has ever happened. So I can't really judge how they would work in practice.
... while every time they insist they do not have quotas to meet.A few months ago a cop in Vienna was suspended because he made such a quota public (a quota is probably illegal).
