You know, my husband needs an answer to his question...

We all know those red-light cameras that are cropping up like nasty weeds all over the city are not the greatest of ideas.

Well...

...what's gonna happen on Mardi Gras?

There are at least 4 cameras currently installed at St Charles Avenue intersections. Will the cameras be turned off for the duration of the parades throughout the season? Will they stay on and make the krewes responsible for payment of red-light tickets incurred while their floats are merrily rolling along? Will those costs be passed on to the tractor drivers? If so, will they then have to stop at the traffic lights all along the parade route, thus causing some serious delays on days (and nights) when multiple parades are doing their thing?

Pardon me. Those last bunches of questions are mine. Dan posed the first one, and my brain went berserk thinking of the scenarios.

If you all have any ideas or know what the real score will be on this issue, let me know.

Then again, if your ticket gets mailed to somebody else, you may not need to worry too much about it...

The people on the floats ARE wearing masks, after all.
