# New types of traffic cameras allowed by the state legislature have the potential to lead to big safety gains in Seattle -- but a potential clash over how those cameras are deployed could be on the horizon. SDOT and transportation chair Rob Saka are not seeing eye to eye.
Nah, they don’t really help with that much actually. People don’t usually really run reds onpurpose, and people who usually run reds are not noticing that the light is red for one reason or another. And most people are just trying to strech a yellow light most of the time, which is safer than not in a lot of cases.
