Red light cameras spark murky statistics debate
The article reviews how police reports on red light camera intersections yield conflicting results. It highlights a 10.6 percent drop in total accidents at 10 monitored intersections, with a 31.1 percent fall in right angle crashes yet a 12.5 percent rise in rear end crashes and a 31.8 percent fall in injury crashes. Citywide declines and small numbers cast doubt on percentage significance, while opponents cite Baytown coalition data showing total accidents rising from 50 to 70 and injuries from 8 to 14.
