So why are all the shortened yellows at red light cameras again?Because that's how the conspiracy theory goes. Do you have proof of shortened yellows at all the red light cameras? This is a national issue. There are numerous cities reporting increased accidents at these red light camera locations. Yes, increases in rear end crashes, reductions in angle crashes, and reductions in overall crash severity (injuries and fatalities). An FHWA study of seven jurisdictions found that red light cameras didn't necessarily reduce the number of crashes (a total of 4,063 crashes before vs/ 4,059 after), but the number of injury/fatality crashes decreased by 5 percent. The reduction in cost associated with injury/fatality crashes was $50k per intersection. |
