Don’t red-light cameras increase rear-end crashes?
Studies and community testimonials show that most communities see no change in the number of rear-end collisions, while many communities have even witnessed a decrease. Across the U.S., some communities have seen an increase in rear-end collisions; however, many of these same communities report a decrease in this type of crash about six months later, when driver behavior changes and motorists no longer expect the car in front of them to run the red light. It’s also important to note that even in those rare cases when rear-end crashes increase, the number of T-bone crashes significantly decrease. Injuries decrease and lives are saved because T-bone crashes cause significant injuries compared to rear-end fender-benders.
