A study conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute at the Texas A&M University shows a marked decrease in traffic accidents, and accident-related injuries, at intersections that feature so-called “red light cameras” – contraptions that photograph cars that run red lights, allowing cops to ticket drivers after the fact.
Department of Transportation estimates show that around 100,000 crashes and 1,000 fatalities occur each year due to drivers running red lights. The TTI study showed that installing a red light camera at an intersection has a significant preventive effect, causing an average drop of over 20 percent in red light violations. Both driving and car transportation are significantly safer as a result.
