Red Light Cam Miller Place

How is that Red Light Camera working for you Miller Place people?  I'm still hearing about accidents at the intersection of 25A and North Country rd. I also hear the county is making a ton of money on people making "rolling rights".  Rolling rights are very low risk and no more dangerous than a full stop before right and not paying attention or looking.  NHTSA states less than 0.2 percent of all fatalities involved a right-turning vehicle maneuver at an intersection where RTOR is permitted.  Someone should do a FOIL and find out the % of rolling rights tickets are at that intersection.  Maybe the county should put stop cameras in the gas stations and 7-11 exits there too, to make sure no one is making rolling rights.  That is, if they really care about the money, oh I mean the accidents.
