| 摘要： | The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in cooperation with local engineering and enforcement agencies installed white enforcement lights at a number of intersections on the State Highway System in Hillsborough County to help police officers safely enforce red light violations. These lights were placed either above or below the signal head, so that they are visible from a complete circle of 360 degrees. Thus, a single officer positioned downstream from the intersection can safely observe the violation, stop the offending driver, and issue the citation. White lights can therefore potentially replace a police officer, reducing the required police manpower by half. This either could allow enforcement at more intersections or could increase enforcement hours at the same number of intersections. The increased enforcement could in turn help change driver behavior and reduce the number of red light violations and associated crashes. This report documents the findings and conclusions of a study conducted to determine the effectiveness of white lights in reducing red light violations and associated crashes. |
