More than 300 communities across the U.S. still use cameras to cite drivers for running red lights, speeding and other infractions. That’s down from the peak of more than 500 in 2012. (SCNG)

Re “Just how bad are San Diego’s budget problems? City may dip into reserves for first time in years” (May 15): A simple way to generate more revenue for city is to bring back the cameras and issue citations to red-light runners.

I work in Kearny Mesa and see cars constantly running red lights. Install cameras at freeway on-ramps to cite people who drive in diamond lanes (alone) getting onto the freeway. Doing this could generate hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

A simple solution, don’t you think?
