Red light cameras were the subject of debate in Georgia with regard to their effects in car accidents and personal freedom. Red light cameras many critics claim that the primary motivation behind the use of cameras is filled the tax coffers.

There were contradictory and mixed results in past attempts to quantify the effectiveness of red light cameras in the reduction of accidents, a recent study of Insurance Institute for highway safety (IIHS) offers new evidence that red light cameras are a valuable tool for the promotion of motor vehicle safety.

The IIHS collected evidence from 14 cities, compared casualty rates prior to the installation of red light cameras with prices with red light cameras and car, after the cameras were used. The data revealed that red light cameras in a 24-percent reduction auto accident led prices in cities, the help of the cameras. The new research, that red light cameras saved 159 lives over a period of four years and saved as 815 life would, if it has been installed in all major cities of the United States.

It seems that the concrete results of car accident reduction in the cities studied also have led to a change in the attitude of drivers on the use of red light cameras. Two-thirds of the rider in the cities studied support the use of red light cameras to reduce accidents, and 42 percent support to use. A survey of the driver in the cities of where the red light study was shown that 90 percent of the driver is running, what an unacceptable drive a red light practice believe is, while more than 80 percent show a red light as a serious threat to the safety of the driver.

While there are still vocal critics of red light cameras, seem a vocal minority. Those in the IIHS study, which showed itself against the use of red light cameras reduce car crashes the following justifications provided for their position:

Red light cameras cause more accidents. the cameras are prone to errors. the use of cameras is to reduce the number of car accident rates to increase sales in the first place.Red light cameras violate personal privacy.

The verdict still out on red light cameras may, shows this most recent study on a variety of countries, that this traffic enforcement means safer roads and prevent making motor vehicle accidents. One-third of all automobile crashes and 40% of all fatal car accidents occurs at intersections, so can result in the increased use of red light cameras in a significant reduction in the serious injuries and unlawful death.
