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.

Most importantly, the analysis found that fewer and fewer vehicles are being issued multiple violations. Ninety per cent of the ve

A 30-day public awareness campaign will begin in March and the cameras will go live on 1 April. "Hopefully these red-light cameras will not only make people aware of running the red lights, but make them aware they need to slow down," Orange Park Police Chief Gary Goble said.

    Cost-benefit analysis invariably finds highly in favour of speed and red light enforcement, particularly so in Edmonton in the Alberta province of Canada, where authorities need no convincing of the merits of road safety engineering. Justification of enforcement efforts on economic grounds has been reinforced this year, by a study of the costs and benefits of red light enforcement. New York-based economic research firm John Dunham & Associates carried out this latest analysis for American Traffic Solutions

    Colin Sowman looks at some enforcement case studies from around the world. It is a sad fact of life that unenforced laws are not adhered to by a sometimes sizable proportion of the public and once enforcement is seen to be lacking, some drivers can take this to extremes and authorities must decide how to regain control.
