The Seattle Police Department is targeting red-light runners as part of “Stop on Red Week,” a nationwide initiative designed to crack down on red light violations. The city relies heavily on cameras to help reduce injuries and fatalities that result from red light running. Seattle already has 28 cameras set up at intersections around the city to catch red light runners, and two more cameras will be installed by the end of the summer.
Aggressive driving, such as red-light running, is the primary contributing factor in a large number of traffic crashes each year. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) studies, red light running is second only to drunk driving and failure to wear a seat belt as contributing factors causing fatal auto accidents in the U.S. Over 1,000 people die in these types of accidents each year, and tens of thousands more are injured. If you have suffered injuries because of a red light violation, an experienced Seattle accident lawyer can help you get compensation for your physical pain, medical bills, and lost wages.
