Arizona: Peoria Cameras Increased Accidents
 

Accidents increased after red light cameras used in Peoria, Arizona.

The number of traffic accidents doubled at locations where red light cameras were installed in Peoria, Arizona, according to data released last week at a city council study session. City data also indicate that more recent changes in intersection yellow timing have reduced the number of red light violations.

At 91st Avenue and Bell road, accidents increased 100 percent,

At 75th Avenue and Thunderbird Road, accidents increased 480 percent.

At 83rd Avenue and Thunderbird Road, accidents increased 29 percent, including a 300 percent jump in rear-end collisions.

The drivers here in Az are stupid and need to go back to school.

I have never seen any reports in what the cameras on the freeways did the commute time after thier installation.

yup, same here in CA.
we've found that people are getting rear ended much more frequently at intersections where the red light cameras are.
