Traffic cameras increase accidents?
Konnie just said she was won over by the vendor’s presentation.
Brendan Melican over at radioball.net, watching the meeting from home, just sent us a link to the study referenced by Ronal Madnick about accidents going up at traffic camera intersections.
“The results of this study suggest that the installation of the RLC at these sites did not provide any reduction in accidents, rather there has been increases in rear end and adjacent approaches accidents on a before and after basis and also by comparison with the changes in accidents at intersection signals.”
Also: Councilors are saying two different things—Petty said that people driving cars are NOT photographed, Clancy said they are, but only for bodily injury.
