THURSDAY, AUGUST 6: Get the Facts
The National Coalition for Safer Roads shows how deadly red-light running is through our interactive red-light running fatality map. The fatalities are mapped to the city and state that each incident occurred. Through its search function, the map allows viewers the opportunity to find out how many red-light running fatalities occurred in a particular state.
FACT: Cameras don’t violate privacy. Driving is a regulated activity, and people who obtain licenses are agreeing to abide by certain rules. Red-light cameras are a way to catch people who break those rules, just like traditional enforcement.
The ultimate goal is to honor the lives lost and illustrate the danger of red-light running. These dots represent a life cut too short, family and friends left to soon, and the harsh reality that red-light running can affect anyone on the roadways if more action isn’t taken to prevent reckless driving.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7: Red-Light Cameras Save Lives
Red-light cameras save lives. They are designed to change bad driving behavior and help reduce the collisions caused by red-light runners. We need every safety tool and everyone to work together in order to cut down the insatiable heartache on our roadways. By using innovative technologies such as red-light safety cameras at dangerous intersections across the country, we can put an end to deadly red-light running. Did you know? An IIHS study found that cameras reduced the fatal red-light running crash rate of large cities by 21 percent and the rate of all types of fatal crashes at signalized intersections by 14 percent.
