A January 2013 news release claims that red light cameras do help prevent red light running particular the worst type of red light running where the light has been red for some time. Arizona is known to be high on the list for the worst places for red light running. A study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released the top cities in America for red light running, and 3 Arizona cities were on the top of the list: Phoenix, Mesa and Tucson. Red light running is a dangerous habit, and the cameras in various Arizona areas seem to be few and far between.
It is just a matter of time that a habitual red light runner hits another driver. Driving through a red light and hitting another vehicle can cause incredible property damage and, more importantly, severe injuries to the driver and passengers of the other vehicle.
