Red light cameras in Virginia Beach declared a success
Posted on Oct 31, 2009
Officials in Virginia Beach were given the go-ahead to install red light cameras in intersections earlier this year, and recently released data has law enforcement officers declaring them a success.
The cameras were installed in March, and from March 13 to September 30 13,987 citations were issued to drivers who ran red lights.
According to officials, during this time period the Virginia Beach PhotoSafe Program resulted in a 69 percent drop in red light running incidents at intersections that were being monitored. Virginia Beach has approval to install a total of 20 camera systems at 13 Virginia Beach intersections. Eleven were installed over the last six months.
The success of the red light camera program from PHOTOSafe means that other Virginia cities will be seeing red light cameras in their intersections soon. The program is expected to expand to Chesapeake and Newport News next.
The goal of the program, according to the PHOTOSafe program coordinator, is not to reduce the number of red light runners. The goal is actually to reduce the number of deadly right-angle crashes, one of the most severe types of vehicle collisions.
Earlier this month a woman and her daughter were killed when the vehicle in which they were riding was hit by a driver who ran a red light. Officials hope that accidents like these will become less common as the red light cameras spread across Virginia Beach and into surrounding cities.
