Leary Looks like about the same time we are pulling in to that area. I think we are going to stay at a place that has full hookups, Heartland RV in Hermosa for Mt Rushmore and Badlands RV Ranch in "Interior". I noticed that you are in Alaska or do you live in there. I want to go to Alaska so bad I can taste it but not any of my traveling buddies want to come, afraid they will scratch their coach I guess. I thought about a caravan but man are they expensive, Anybody going to Alaska maybe next spring, I would be interested in joining up for a trip.

Are you referring to Heartland RV and Campground? It is a Passport Camp. Looks like it is in a good location so I will not have to move. Thanks

Thanks for the motorcycle info, I think we are planning to be there about the 23-24 August. I hope that is late enough. If not we may change our route, I am not a motorcycle lover, to loud for old ears.

Planning a trip to NW, going through the badlands and Mt, Rushmore, need to know the best places to camp close to these places. I would like to stay at the same place for several days and see the area, maybe 3-4 days. 43' motorhome.

At 45 MPH how much distance and time does it take to stop your coach, I could have locked it up and maybe stop in the 6-10 seconds. I saw it change but I was close enough that I knew I could not stop.

Thanks guys, I cannot afford to fight this, I am 1000 miles from there, so they know I will not come back by the court time. The reason I asked about the yellow time is I think this thing is to quick to stop and then it produces a ticket when it is clear a truck or large RV cannot stop. At 45 MPH it would be almost impossible to stop in 10 seconds, I watched the video several times, in six seconds I went through the light, and I remember I may have been able to slow down but I was not able to stop in that distance and time.

That would make it impossible to stop in a truck or motorhome that weights 35000 #'s right

Port Richey Fla, red light camera on main road, 45 MPH speed zone, I got caught running a light, question, how much time does the yellow light stay on from start to finish, and how much time does it require to stop a 42' motor home towing a car. I have a brake system that works on the 4200 pound car. When the video started it was 2 seconds before I was already at the stop strip on the road, I was just trying to figure out if the city has a trap for RV's and trucks. I remember running the light, there was no sign of a close call with another vehicle, I was out of the intersection with 5 seconds on the timer and had brakes applied. I did not have the brakes applied when I entered the intersection, I had already realized I could not stop.
