Fact 5 – Red light cameras can increase the incidence of intersection car accidents.
The most important fact to remember is that, after intersection car accidents, a Denver car accident lawyer at Cederberg Law will be here for you.
Some of the rationale behind installing red light cameras at intersections is to try to make these areas safer while making drivers more accountable for abiding by fundamental traffic laws (like stopping at red lights). Ironically, however, a number of studies have found that the presence of these cameras can actually have a reverse effect – namely in that they increase the risk and incidence of intersection car accidents.
While there is currently not a consensus among researchers as to how much the incidence of intersection car accidents increase with the installment of red light cameras, different credible reports have estimated this spike to range between 50 and 90 percent.
Some of the specific reasons that red light cameras may be correlated to an increase in intersection car accidents include that these cameras can:
- Distract drivers
- Cause drivers to act differently than they should or would – A clear example of this is with yellow lights; drivers tend to slam on the brakes when they see yellow lights at intersections with red light cameras, rather than proceed through these lights/intersections as drivers behind them may be expecting.
These issues have led some major cities in the U.S. to ban the use of red light cameras at intersections.
