Arizona Statistics

Arizona leads the nation in red light running crashes and fatalities. According to a land-
mark study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Phoenix recorded over
twice as many red light running fatalities than any other U.S. city from 1992 to 1998.

In 2005, over 8,349 crashes which killed 80 people and injured over 7,494 were caused when a driver disregarded a red light or stop sign.

Arizona State University researchers recently analyzed the Scottsdale, AZ red light camera program. Data reviewed from 14 red light camera intersections found that right-angle and left-turn crashes decreased by 20 percent and 45 percent, respectively, with an overall decrease in total crashes of 11 percent. They also detected a positive spillover effect to nearby intersections.

The researchers concluded that red light cameras decreased right-angle and left-turn crashes. They also determined that rear-end crash severity decreased as a result of red light cameras.
