Yesterday, while sitting at the signal at Riverside & Fletcher, I noticed a new camera focused on the southbound lanes of Riverside Drive. I did not see cameras on any other post at the intersection. Nor were their signs indicating red light cameras installed. They've been installing new light posts in the intersection recently. It would make everyone's lives easier if they would just install left turn signals in all directions at Riverside & Fletcher.
