The Problem: Red Light Violations

[img_assist|nid=2946|title=|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=67|height=100]Transportation safety agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety endorse photo enforcement technology as an effective public safety tool. The NHTSA reports that nearly 9,200 died in 2005 in intersection-related crashes. Approximately 805 people are killed and another 165,000 are injured annually in red light running collisions. Additionally, 40 to 45 percent of all crashes in the U.S. occur at intersections or are intersection-related. Public costs of red light running exceed $14 billion per year.

Campaign Goal: Safer Roadways

In concert with all of the Village’s traffic safety programs, the goal of this campaign is to make our community roads safer and reduce automobile-related tragedies by addressing red light running. The campaign seeks to re-establish respect for traffic signals in an effort to enhance the safety of residents and visitors. The aim is also to reduce the number and severity of crashes in addition to injuries and fatalities caused by dangerous and aggressive driving.
