As a potential counterargument, if you fear Red Light Cameras but don't know where they are, you'll drive more safely at all intersections, not just the ones where they're actually installed.

That requires evidence that people drive more safely in their ticket-avoidance driving, vs accelerating through greens to beat the yellow, or slamming brakes on yellow to cause rear-end collisions.

This doesn’t seem to be the case. People drive more recklessly trying to avoid triggering a ticket. Cities know this and don’t care as long as they increase revenue. Bad people often run big cities.
