Traffic Cameras Save Lives

Research finds that traffic cameras not only prevent speeding tickets, but accidents as well. In Barcelona, 12,000+ injuries occurred every year in traffic accidents. Over two years, 364 fewer accidents and 507 fewer injuries occurred - saving the city at least $9 million.

Cameras Cause Crashes

Research argues that cameras at traffic lights increase the likelihood of car crashes because more drivers break to make a late stop at red-light camera intersections.

The report notes that North Carolina, Virginia and Ontario all had increased crash rates and injuries associated with red light cameras.
