Is it a cash cow? Yup.
Does it make people drive safer? Debatable, but I will admit that a couple of quick photo radar tickets slowed me the hell down.

Even if it has no real impact on road safety, it is a tax on the stupid. And every dollar that some idiot ripping through major intersections at unsafe speeds pays is one less dollar the rest of us have to pay in taxes.
Meh, I just slow down at those intersections. It isnt very hard, they are clearly marked.
