    Hi folks,
    Just wondering if anyone knows if there are cameras on this junction ?
    I was walking home last night and when the lights for me cross went green one car flew through which really frightened the crap out of me. But the Range Rover that came after it nearly killed me. Both of them broke the lights and drove through at speed.

    I wonder if it has been recorded and can they be reported ?

    I don't know what it is about drivers that follow the " if the car infront of me runs the red light sure its grand for me too." Absolute muppets. Its happened to me countless times in the past at various junctions. I doubt anything will be done about it though even if there are cameras there.

    Galway is the only place I get afraid stopping at a red light for fear of being rear ended.

    AFAIK, The camera's are there to allow the traffic control centre to adjust the lights based on traffic volumes. I doubt they record anything or can be used for law enforcement.
