Speed traps?

My friend said that she was driving on Broadway last night and saw a bunch of blue lights on video cameras pointed at intersections.  Are these speed traps or cameras snapping pictures of people who run red lights?

They should put those on MBTA buses.

Didja notice this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_priority) at the bottom of that page? Sadly I don't think it would fly around here - we just have to rely on their Boston driving skills. . .

It would be worth experimenting with, maybe in Union Square? Wonder if the city would be willing to try it there.

Silver Line Washington Street has some traffic signal integration. That's it so far. The jurisdictional issues are difficult.

I've read articles in the Globe about how the MBTA would like to put some signal priority system in for the Green Line. The city keeps refusing to do it. Has anything about this come up in the Green Line extension meetings? The trolleys that do not have their own right of way tracks ie everything except the D-Line could sorely use this.
