Red-Light Running Crashes Continue to Decrease in Florida

TEMPE, AZ--(Marketwired - January 05, 2015) - The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' (DHSMV) recently released third annual Red-Light Camera Summary Report analyzed data from 68 police agencies in the cities and towns in Florida where red-light safety cameras are deployed. The report shows a decrease in red-light running violations and crashes at intersections with red-light safety cameras and is consistent with results from previous state reports affirming the effectiveness of this important law enforcement tool. Total violations decreased 14 percent from the 2013 study.

The primary goal of red-light safety cameras, however, remains improved traffic safety, and this year's DHSVM report provides many examples for improvement in Florida, the third-most dangerous state in the nation for red-light running fatalities.
