The city of Phoenix, Arizona, has selected 112 Redflex Traffic Systems, which has partnered with the city since 2009, to continue providing automated enforcement for its road safety program.

Phoenix uses 12 red-light cameras at key intersections and deploys eight school-zone speed vans that rotate around the Phoenix schools to help enforce school speed limits, the release states.

“We are proud to have been selected by the city of Phoenix to continue serving as a partner in the city’s roadway safety program,” said James Saunders, president and CEO of Redflex Traffic Systems.

“Photo enforcement acts as a force multiplier in our effort to gain voluntary compliance with traffic laws which increases roadway safety for every member of our community,” said Lt. Matt Giordano of the Phoenix Police Department.

In September 2013, Phoenix released data comparing calendar year 2007-09 versus calendar year 2011-12 which indicated that Phoenix’s red light photo-enforcement program had: decreased the number of collisions that were a result of a red-light violation by 47.1 percent at photo-enforced intersections; decreased the number of collisions involving injury or death that were a result of a red-light violation by 60 per cent.
