Abstract:

Automated enforcement of traffic laws is increasingly being used or considered by many communities as a sensible countermeasure for deliberate traffic violations such as red light running and speeding. Automated enforcement devices can supplement limited law enforcement resources by detecting and providing evidence of such violations, thereby helping to reduce the frequency of associated motor vehicle crashes. This article reviews the use of cameras that document drivers who run red lights, violate speed limits, fail to comply with signals at railroad crossings, and operate their vehicles aggressively. Also discussed are the importance of public opinions and legal issues.
