Red-light running is one of the most preventable traffic accidents, yet it remains a significant issue. Many drivers struggle with the decision to enter an intersection, often weighing their ability to cross safely against the changing light. Almost everyone has experienced the temptation to run a red light at some point in their lives. By implementing clear cues and identifiers, we can assist drivers in making safer choices, ultimately reducing the frequency of these dangerous incidents. With the right education and practice, communities can significantly lower the number of accidents caused by red-light violations.

On average, two people die each day in the United States as a result of red-light running-related crashes. Disturbingly, more than half of the victims in these accidents are pedestrians, cyclists, or occupants of other vehicles, rather than the drivers who ran the red light. This data, provided by organizations such as the IISH, NHC, DOT, NHSTA, and AAA, emphasizes the critical importance of addressing this preventable danger. By fostering awareness and promoting responsible driving behaviors, we can save lives and create safer roadways for everyone.
