Virginia City Hides Data Showing Increased Red Light Camera Injuries

“After holding out for more than three years, officials in Virginia Beach, Virginia finally released accident data that raise serious questions about whether the use of red light cameras has improved traffic safety in the city. The number of injury accidents went down 12 percent throughout the city. At the twelve intersections where red light camera tickets are issued, however, injury accidents went up 5 percent over the same period.  After finally releasing the information, city officials dismissed the relevance of the climbing injury rate.  As of January, the cameras had issued 199,463 citations worth $10 million.  $7.3 million worth of tickets have been issued solely to vehicles making rolling right turns on red.”
