http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170 When the cameras were installed to control the traffic lights on the streets that intersect with Loop 463, I thought they might be a good idea -- if they work.  The cameras at Mockingbird and Sam Houston are a waste of money.  For sometime now on my way to work I've been frustrated by waiting at a red light on Mockingbird while almost non-existant traffic on Sam Houston has a green.  This morning was the last straw.  The green for Sam Houston lasted one minute twenty seconds and seven cars passed while traffic stacked up on Mockingbird, especially in the left turn lane.  I don't know how much money was spent on this control system, but it was too much for the benefit they might provide.  Surely the city can get someone to do something about this set of cameras and the lights they are supposed to control.  Until then, I'll take Guy Grant from Mockingbird to Navarro.

He may not be aware of the problem. You can find his number on the city's website. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170/#c_59751 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170/#c_59751 Why don't you just call Lawrence Sutton?

Especially in the early morning hours.   He was told, the cameras are not operating. So, what was the consultanting charge fee for? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170/#c_59757 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170/#c_59757 A guy I carpool with went to talk to the city about the light system that is disappointing to say the least.

You can sit on Airline for over 2 minutes and not a single car will be on Main, Yet wait you do. Also this and several other lights need to go to Yellow flashing after 11pm just as several others do along Navarro and Sam Houston. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170/#c_59764 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/thewaywardwind/8170/#c_59764 Another trouble Light is Main and Airline.
