17 American Traffic Solutions (ATS) has released a new video which it says shows that red-light runners remain a dangerous threat at intersections in large and small cities and towns across the US. ATS has released the video in a bid to deter red light running.

According to ATS, red-light safety cameras have proven to be an effective tool across the country: Florida, Gwinnett County in Georgia, New Jersey, Murfreesboro in Tennessee and Miami have all reported reductions in crashes at red light intersections following the introduction of red light cameras.

"The collision footage captured by our road safety cameras illustrates a serious problem on our nation's roadways. Red-light running kills hundreds and injures more than one-hundred thousand every year. Sadly, these collisions are completely avoidable," said Charles Territo, ATS senior vice-president of Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs. "We encourage all drivers to obey the law and stop on red."
