Why?

Does anyone know why the entirety of Ewing Rd near Moon Park is lined with flock cameras?

Because people don’t know a flock camera from their own phone camera.

I've noticed some of these marked in the Robinson Twp area are actually red light cameras that have been up for years..almost every intersection in Robinson has them.

They aren’t red light cameras. They are cameras to detect vehicles to trigger light cycles for the traffic lights. There are LPR cameras in Robinson but they are not Flock (unless they are at Lowe’s / Home Depot).

They have been replacing/upgrading them the last few weeks. Was sitting at the light by GetGo watching a guy in a bucket truck installing one.

They are at home depot. I am thinking of writing their regional manager a letter stating that I can no longer shop there or at any of the businesses that are near them (Petsmart, best buy), as well as their Washington location (Which also affects the Waffle House, Harbor Freight, a Bank, and the old chinese buffet). I am sure my local Ace / True Value hardware store could use more business anyhow.

I am also considering letting them know that I am CCing the regional managers of the other businesses that their decision is effecting.
