It seems that others have been heard my message about the red-light runners in town and are taking action. Extra police officers will be assigned to monitor the red-running intersections and issue tickets for red-runners starting in November. At $300 per ticket, the police ought have a nice holiday (can't say Christmas) party this year. A Tyler attorney has an ad on tv and in which he is standing at the intersection of Broadway and the loop complaining about the red-runners and the damage they cause. Even my dental hygenist talked about the traffic problems she encounters on her daily commute as she was cleaning my teeth this morning. I wanted to, but couldn't, tell her about the Roadrunner blog as a means to share her frustration with others, but my mouth was hanging open and filled a cold steel instrument making an ear-piercing sound as she scraped it on my teeth...but that's another story.
The moral of today's story is that everyone knows people are running red lights every single day, and at every single light in town. Drivers like to complain about the traffic light system and blame the engineers and the computer system that controls it but the real problem is the people who think they are exempt from driving regulations. Maybe it's time for those ignorant folks to go back to driving kindergarten and learn how to share the road with other roadmates...remember our state slogan "drive friendly".

Testify, BBBLOGGER! Just to clarify: The people who complain about the traffic light system, engineers, and the computer system ARE the people who think they are exempt from driving regulations. Driving regulations are for everyone else - not THEM.
