  4. Desired Program Outcomes “From August 1999 through January 2007, the automated red-light enforcement program has resulted in a 75 percent decline in the number of red-light violations at intersections with cameras installed.” Source: Metropolitan Police Department District of Columbia Red Light Enforcement Program City Council Update December 3, 2007

  5. Crashes down at red-light camera intersections By TANYA EISERER / The Dallas Morning News Dallas officials believe the city's electronic red-light spies are causing motorists to hit the brakes. Preliminary statistics show that accidents and citations are drastically down at intersections with red-light cameras during the first six months of the program, according to a report presented to the City Council's public safety committee Monday. "Police can't be at intersections at all times, but technology can," said Zaida Basora, an assistant director of the city's Public Works and Transportation Department. In Dallas, nearly 30 percent of all accidents at traffic signals were related to red-light running in 2006. That included 14 fatalities, 75 serious injuries and 487 minor injuries, according to city statistics. The city's first 17 red-light cameras went online in mid-January. For the first six months, statistics show, T-bone crashes dropped 75 percent and rear-end accidents dipped 57 percent at those intersections. The city added cameras each month through June and now has 60 operating throughout Dallas. The number of citations dropped an average of 49 percent for 36 of those monitored intersections after six months of operation, which officials said shows that the red-light cameras are having an effect. -Dallas Morning News, November 20, 2007 Red Light Enforcement Program City Council Update December 3, 2007
