The Wall Street Journal released an article this morning regarding red light cameras and crashes in Nassau County. Red light cameras in Nassau County have reduced traffic accidents “an average of 12-to-16 percent at 40 intersections,” (The Wall Street Journal).
In 2009, Nassau County installed 50 red-light cameras at intersections, the maximum amount allowed by state law. Recently people have voiced their concern that red-light cameras have increased the number of traffic accidents due to drivers trying to avoid a ticket at the last minute.At 32 intersections where the county compared 12 months of data before and after cameras were installed, “there was an average 12.3 percent reduction in crashes. One intersection at the Roosevelt Field Mall showed a steep increase,” (The Wall Street Journal).
The study also found another eight intersections with six months of before and after data, which showed an average of 15.5 percent decline in crashes.
Newsday was told by Chris Mistron, who helped develop the red-light camera program that lower speeds mean less violent crashes.
