FW: Extend red-light test program | Philadelphia Inquirer | 10/16/2007
Robert Shinn
Dear Committee member,
I updated our Safer Route 70 Plan to add a reference to the dramatic safety improvement on Roosevelt Blvd. in Philadelphia as a result of red light running cameras, which our Plan also recommends.
During the initial 30 days of camera activation at the Grant Avenue intersection, 2,498 red-light running violations were recorded. Over the next six 30-day periods, the Parking Authority recorded 3,046, 3,609, 4,065, 2,896, 4,362 and 2,035 violations, respectively.
After the initial seven-month period, violations dropped dramatically. An average of 570 violations were recorded each month from Nov. 23, 2005, until May 22, 2007 - an 87 percent reduction from the start of the program. When you compare the high point of 4,362 violations in July/August 2005 to the more recent low of 296 violations in June/July 2006, the result was a 93 percent reduction.
I only added a foot note to the article below in our report.
Regards,
Bob Shinn
