SUMMARY 1.1 PROGRAM OVERVIEW • The city of Miami began using red-light safety cameras in January 2011. • Miami has one hundred forty nine (148) red-light safety cameras at ninety-two (92) intersections. 1.1.1 WHEN IS RED-LIGHT RUNNING HAPPENING? • Most red-light running violations occur between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. • Friday is the day of the week when most red-light running violations occur. 1.1.2 WHO IS RUNNING THE RED LIGHT? • Miami residents are the recipients of 52% of all violations issued since the program's start. 1.1.3 PUBLIC SAFETY BENEFIT • Most red-light runners in Miami do not get a second ticket. The community's recidivism rate is 12%, which means 88% of all violators who receive a ticket and pay it do not get another violation. This low rate of repeat behavior, tracked from program inception through February 2013, indicates a change in driver behavior to stop on red. • Red-light safety camera programs are saving lives on the roads in Florida by reducing crashes and providing hope to the men, women and children living with spinal cord injuries. The Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act dedicates a portion of every red-light running ticket fine to Florida's trauma centers and to The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Through December 2012, reckless drivers have contributed more than $3.6 million to this invaluable research. The Florida Department of Health reports that since the passage of the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act, red-light safety camera fines have. generated over $7.3 million in funds distributed to 22 verified trauma centers across the state. ! ©2012 American Traffic Solutions, Inc.
