What's happening on Stop On Red Week?

Sunday, Aug. 7: The Effects of Red-Light Running

Innocent lives are lost every day because drivers recklessly decide to run red lights. We must do everything in our power to protect our children, our families and our communities from the callous and dangerous behavior of red-light runners.

Monday, Aug. 8: Get the Facts

New technology, like red light safety cameras, is helping to put an end to red-light running in communities across the United States.

Red Light Safety Cameras — Changing Reckless Driver Behavior

A recent study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) looked at 99 large U.S. cities to analyze the impact of photo enforcement on intersection fatality rates. It found:

  • Across the country, more than 150 lives were saved in 14 of the biggest U.S. cities over a five-year period

  • Had cameras been deployed in all major cities between 2004 and 2008, more than 800 deaths could have been prevented

  • Red light safety cameras reduced traffic fatalities by 24 percent

  • After the introduction of red light safety cameras, violations dropped by 40-96 percent
