Traffic Cameras, Confuted by Study
A study conducted by the University of South Florida shows that red-light cameras are not as wondrous in fixing the traffic as we thought. Barbara Langland-Orban, professor and chair of health policy and management at the USF College of Public Health, stated that these cameras increase crashes and injuries probability as drivers try to abruptly stop at camera intersections.
Red-light cameras are used to take a snap-shot of a car’s license plate if the driver doesn`t stop at a red light. This study formulates the idea that drivers are paying more attention when cameras are not present, rather than when they are.
The cameras are often coupled with the shortening of the yellow light timing, to increase the number of tickets generated, as drivers think they have more time until the red light goes on.
the camera must be very high quality only can snap those picture.
most of the CCTV now a days are not able to snap clear, only will know the person sex, size and height, cant even recognize who is him
