Yeah, the one I was talking about was about here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=dry+creek+and+colorado,+denver,+co&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.111473,82.001953&ie=UTF8&ll=39.583366,-104.900744&spn=0.012006,0.02002&t=h&z=16&om=1&layer=c&cbll=39.58054,-104.900652&cbp=1,0,0.5,0

It sort of catches your eye because it hangs out over the street. It's been
there for years. I tried Google street view, but couldn't find it.  


I noticed another set this morning on Broadway and Dry Creek, but those may
have been there for a long time, too.

Yeah, it makes a big difference. Without any clear oversight, though, who's
to know? I'll concede that getting red-light runners isn't a bad idea - it's
the slippery slope of other purposes that concerns me.
