Intersection Cameras Save Lives

As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorney I have given a great deal of study and thought to the issues of  enforcing intersection speeding and red light issues using digital technology. The Constitutional arguments used by the opponents of red light cameras are specious at best. Red light running and speeding are real problems that jeopardize the safety and lives of Americans on a daily basis. Photo enforcement, a proven method of increasing road and intersection safety, is one of the solutions to the dangers of speeding red light running. This technology has already yielded undeniable proof of its effectiveness in saving lives. Consider the following red light camera and speed camera success stories:

* New Orleans, LA — red light cameras led to an 85% drop in red light running and speed cameras led to an 84% drop in speeding.

* Montgomery County, MD ― relative to comparison sites drivers traveling more than 10 mph above posted speed limits declined by about 70% at locations with both warning signs and speed camera enforcement.

* Council Bluffs, IA ― a 90% reduction in red light running crashes.

* Washington, DC ― red light running fatalities were reduced from 16 to 2 in the first two years of red light cameras.

* Fairfax, VA ― a 44% reduction in red light running crashes.

* Oxnard, CA ― a 22% reduction in red light crashes citywide.

* New York City ― a 34% reduction in red light violations.
