Safety Effectiveness and Crash Cost Benefit of Red Light Cameras in Missouri.
Conclusions The implementation of RLC reduced overall angle crashes by 11.6% while rear end crashes increased by 16.5%. The net economic crash cost-benefit of the implementation of RLC was $35,269 per site per year in 2001 dollars (approximately $47,000 in 2015 dollars). Thus RLC produced a sizable net positive safety benefit that is consistent with previous statistical studies.
