Do traffic light cameras affect insurance?
Asked by Wiki User
It depends on the laws in your state or jurisdiction. The state I live in does not allow photo tickets to become part of your official driving record. Why would it matter? If you went thru the red light, you are guilty of a driving offense, right? So of course the insurance company will see that as a sure sign that you are a bad driver and raise you rates, accordingly. It does not matter if you got caught by a camera or a human in a uniform, you still blew the light, right? WRONG, dont listen to that last answer. There are many reasons you can get a ticket and not be responsible. Reason #1 your spouse or another family memeber could have used your car with/without permission and gotten one. Dispute it with the court within 15 days if possible and your case will be dismissed. They cannot prove in anyway that you were driving because they didnt physically pull you over to see, so the above answer is wrong! Will it affect your insurance, most likely it will, atleast in most states as long as you got a ticket, you will be affected unless you dispute it. What effect do red light/speeding camera tickets have on your car insurance premium? According to Dave Roush, CEO of Insurance.com, the tickets are categorized as a civil penalty, so they normally don't result in points on the offender's driving license nor do they impact the driver's auto insurance rate. Roush also notes that the best defense is to always drive with caution and care. Following these measures will help you maintain a good driving record and a lower auto insurance rate.
Who is the famous African American inventor who invented the Traffic Light in the the early 1900?
Asked by Wiki User
A fraud. Or, to be fair: an error.
Traffic lights were invented in the UK by railway engineer JP Knight (who was neither African nor American) in 1868. They were similar to existing railway signals, so it wasn't that spectacular as inventions go.
The modern electric traffic light was invented by Lester Wire (who was American, but not African ... at least not recently; the "Out of Africa" theory says we're all African in ancestry, so let me just call a spade a spade here: he was white) no later than 1912.
Garret Morgan, who did meet the "African American" (that is, black) criterion, invented a traffic signal (that was inferior in several ways to existing designs - it was manual, and operated by a crank, and there's no reliable evidence it was ever actually even used) in 1923, but it apparently makes some people feel better to think that the traffic light was invented by a black man. The sad thing about this is that Morgan really was an inventor, and invented a personal safety hood and smoke protector to help firefighters and emergency workers breathe which he personally demonstrated the effectiveness of by rescuing some people while using it - a far more important invention than a hand-cranked traffic signal in an age when automatic electric signals already existed.

How long does pedestrian light show?
Asked by Wiki User
That depends on the cross-walk. The question of how much time allowed to cross is answered by how much road does one person have to cross. For crossing 4 lanes of road the person may be allowed 25-35 seconds to cross. For 2 lanes that time may be cut in half.
All of that is set by the traffic department of your city or county.
