Abstract:The objectives of the Automated Enforcement and Highway Safety Research study were to conduct a
literature review of national research related to the effectiveness of Red Light Camera (RLC) programs
in changing crash frequency, crash severity, crash costs, and violations; to identify red light running
program noteworthy practices, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and barriers; establish a record of
current RLC applications in Louisiana communities and the observed safety impact of the programs;
conduct a survey to understand public perception of RLC programs in Louisiana; review the existing
statewide RLC policy, compare it to noteworthy practices, and identify potential improvements; and
develop a guidebook for implementing red light camera programs. The research led to
recommendations to modify state policy to improve public support for RLC. Potential modifications
include enhanced public education programs, additional signage and clarification on the determination
of right turn on red violations at signalized intersections with red light cameras. The research also
includes recommendations to maximize local agency involvement in site selection.
