Hopefully, drivers will become more sensitive to the safety ramifications of not adhering to the law when failing to stop at red lights in general." Marian Tasco City Councilwoman Philadelphia Montgomery Media, 2010 |
In Philadelphia, violations were reduced from 4,000 per month to just 300 at one of the city's most dangerous intersections. 92% reduction in red light running.
