Book Description
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, legality, and public acceptance aspects of automated enforcement on red light running and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) occupancy requirement using video cameras in Nevada. This objective was accomplished by conducting a literature review of previous studies and lessons learned in other states, conducting public opinion polls and agency survey, assessing the violation rate in HOV lanes, analyzing accident data related to red light running in Nevada's urban areas, and reviewing legal and public acceptance issues in other states. Since automated red-light running enforcement has proven to be reliable and supportive by most of Nevada's public surveyed, pilot installation and test of red-light running camera systems are recommended at selected intersections where high-violation and high-crash rates exist. Considering the inherent difficulty of photo-HOV occupancy enforcement technology and the relatively low support of 43% from Nevada's residents, video camera systems are recommended as supplemental countermeasures for reducing HOV occupancy violations. The results of the study could be used as the basis for pursuing legislative changes to allow the automated red-light running enforcement and photo-HOV occupancy enforcement in Nevada.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Red Light Running Camera Enforcement in Cedar Rapids and Developing Guidelines for Selection and Use of Red Light Running Countermeasures
Author: Shauna L. Hallmark
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Red light running
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Red light running (RLR) is a problem in the US that has resulted in 165,000 injuries and 907 fatalities annually. In Iowa, RLR-related crashes make up 24.5 percent of all crashes and account for 31.7 percent of fatal and major injury crashes at signalized intersections. RLR crashes are a safety concern due to the increased likelihood of injury compared to other types of crashes. One tool used to combat red light running is automated enforcement in the form of RLR cameras. Automated enforcement, while effective, is often controversial. Cedar Rapids, Iowa installed RLR and speeding cameras at seven intersections across the city. The intersections were chosen based on crash rates and whether cameras could feasibly be placed at the intersection approaches. The cameras were placed starting in February 2010 with the last one becoming operational in December 2010. An analysis of the effect of the cameras on safety at these intersections was determined prudent in helping to justify the installation and effectiveness of the cameras. The objective of this research was to assess the safety effectiveness of the RLR program that has been implemented in Cedar Rapids. This was accomplished by analyzing data to determine changes in the following areas: Reductions in red light violation rates based on overall changes, time of day changes, and changes by lane; Effectiveness of the cameras over time; Time in which those running the red light enter the intersection; Changes in the average headway between vehicles entering the intersection.

Traffic Law Enforcement

ISBN:
Category : Automobiles
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
A study was undertaken to review the recent Australian and international literature relating to traffic law enforcement. The specific areas examined included alcohol, speed, seat belts and signalised intersections. The review documents the types of traffic enforcement methods and the range of options available to policing authorities to increase the overall efficiency (in terms of cost and human resources) and effectiveness of enforcement operations. The review examines many of the issues related to traffic law enforcement including the deterrence mechanism, the effectiveness of legislation and the type of legal sanctions administered to traffic offenders. The need to use enforcement in conjunction with educational and environmental/engineering strategies is also stressed. The need for publicity to support enforcement operations, police training and education programs is also documented. The review concludes with a series of recommendations regarding the most promising options available to authorities to improve the effectiveness of traffic law enforcement operations.
