In Houston, our mayor and city council, over the objections of the legislature, the insurance industry, and pretty much anyone else they cared to ask, went ahead and installed the red-light cameras. We're about to start giving civil fines in the next couple of months. Local bloggers were thrilled about the WaPo article.

OTOH, anecdotally, I think that redlight cameras were solely responsible for changing the regional norm around Baltimore of running red lights. I was almost killed the first time I tried to cross a street in Baltimore. The next six months were hell. Then the red light cameras were installed, and six months later, people stopped running red lights.
