Reply to comment by TVDinner360 in Got a ticket for running red light from Officer. But camera didnt go off?? by Aggressive-Yam5470

Thanks and I agree with this. I am a software engineer and I figured that both the lights are set in such a way that for the speed limit at that particular cross street, the light and its timing algorithm are set so that if I was going the speed limit, i would have enough time. But, factors such as it was raining, dark, and the timing may be good on paper but for me to slam on the breaks sometimes that can be just as dangerous.

Also, wouldnt the camera also have similiar if not more sensitive software/sensors that had i entered when it was red, it would have snapped a pic? meh.. ill just pay it, I was just trying to get some conversations and basically its what I thought.

Reply to comment by Rainyx420 in Where the river bends, Olympic National Park by pastoriagym

The whole state does not look like this. There’s lots of mossy trees and ferns in forested areas but not to the extent of the lush Olympic Peninsula (Westernmost land of WA, touching the Pacific). That region is considered temperate rain forest. Also, East of the Cascade mountain range is completely different climate and landscape. Our Puget Sound/Seattle summers have been so hot and dry that everything ends up looking so thirsty and brown, grasses burned to a crisp. Though, WA is the “Evergreen State” and does stay green throughout winters too with so much coniferous growth.
