Griffith Drive near US Highway Beaverton Hillsdale

This concerns the infamous Beaverton "Red Light Camera". You have exactly 3 seconds to go 111 feet across the intersection under the yellow which hits fast and turns red before you get through the intersection. Some have hit their brakes hard anticipating the super quick yellow only to get rear ended violently which really should cost the City in a lawsuit, and I’m sure eventually will. Many good citizens with excellent driving records which include me, have been caught by this speedtrap and had to pay the $256.00 dollar fine. Even the City Police hate this area and the damage it causes the city which only get 10% of the "take" from the owners of the four huge cameras on poles which crowd the very center of the sidewalk and are in the right of way for anyone walking on those sidewalks. Where is the ADA on the placement of these objects? If you or I stood on a street corner with a high powered flash camera and then flashed it in drivers eyes at random, how long would we stay out of jail? Studies have proven that a longer yellow actually produces fewer accidents as well as less ticketed drivers. Shame on you Beaverton.
