New Research Suggests Red Light Cameras Reduce Crashes at Intersections Where They Are Installed

A new study by the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University and funded by the Texas Department of Transportation shows right light cameras at almost 300 intersections statewide were effective in reducing crashes. The study, while limited to Texas, is one of the most extensive thus far in the nation, and researchers say the findings demonstrate that the automated enforcement method offers an effective means of preventing crash-related deaths and injuries. The TTI study included 11,000 crash records at 275 intersections with red light cameras, many of them in Houston and other big Texas cities like Dallas and El Paso. “These findings show clearly that red light cameras offer significant safety benefits,” says Troy Walden, the author of the TTI study. “Most important, they help prevent the most severe and deadly type of intersection crashes.” Read the full report.
