To compile its lists, ATS reviewed violation data from red-light safety cameras in nearly 300 communities in 20 states. Violations issued to vehicle owners and drivers during the first 11 months of 2014 were used to calculate the rankings.
Across the country nearly two per day are killed in red-light running related collisions and each year more than 100,000 are injured. For a sobering look at the dangers of red-light running visit www.ranaredlight.us.

Red-light safety cameras help reduce these dangerous collisions by providing local authorities with a daily, 24-hour enforcement tool at dangerous intersections. By changing driver behavior, the number of red-light running events diminishes, decreasing the number of dangerous intersection collisions, and further enhancing road safety.
"Preventing red-light running isn't about changing vehicles, it's about changing driver behavior, and red-light safety cameras are helping to bring about this important change," stated ATS spokesman Charles Territo. "Last year, nearly 90 percent of vehicle owners who received one red-light running ticket did not receive a second violation. Cameras help remind drivers to stop on red."
