Abstract:

Red-Light-Running (RLR) crashes represent a significant safety problem that warrants attention. It can be hypothesized that the majority of these crashes result from inadvertent driver error or intentional violation. However, very little is known about the possible contribution of the geometric and traffic characteristics of intersections to RLR crash risk. The purpose of this study was to examine selected geometric characteristics of intersections and their impact on RLR crash rates and to establish a relationship between them. The major questions addressed in this summary report concerning RLR crashes are: Does the width of the cross-street have any effect on RLR crash risk? What is the relationship of other select intersection characteristics to RLR crashes? Using this information, how can one better target urban intersections for traffic law enforcement techniques such as RLR cameras or heightened intersection enforcement coupled with publicity?
