Red light cameras are automated traffic enforcement systems that capture images of vehicles that enter an intersection after the traffic light has turned red. These systems are designed to improve road safety and reduce the number of accidents caused by red-light running.
Red light cameras have been shown to be effective in reducing red-light running violations and accidents. Studies have shown that intersections with red light cameras have a 25% to 40% reduction in red-light running violations and a 15% to 25% reduction in accidents.
