Motorists are more likely to be injured in urban crashes involving red light running than in any other type of motor vehicle accident.

A study of 5 busy intersections prior to the installation of red light cameras showed that, on average, a motorist ran a red light every 20 minutes.

It is estimated that the economic cost to society of speed related crashes is more than $40 billion each year.

It has been shown that within 6 months of the installation of speed cameras average speeds declined 14% and the incidence of vehicles that exceeded the speed limit by more than 10 mph declined 82%.

A review of international red light camera studies revealed that cameras reduced red light violations by 40-50% and injury in crashes by 25-30%.

Red light cameras are currently authorized in approximately 50% of the United States.
