Red Light Camera Technology Pays Of With Increased Intersection Traffic Safety
The city of Oak Ridge, Tennessee was one of the first cities in Tennessee to take advantage of the life saving technology of red light cameras. Automated traffic enforcement has turned the corner. Once viewed as an emerging technology that showed promise as a traffic safety tool, it has matured into a well-established strategy proven, again and again to reduce crashes and save lives. Simply stated, it works.
Positive aspects of red light cameras show that they force drivers into safe intersection driving habits. They save lives, reduce intersection traffic accidents, health care costs, increases and maximizes the deployment of police officers, and, as is the case in Oak Ridge, create a violator-funded system that can be used to pay for increased public safety.
City officials, after and extensive round of public hearings, voted to use the money raised through fines, to make a variety of traffic safety enhancements. This is good news, education and enforcement is the key duo to reducing the high cost of intersection accidents.
