Red Light Cameras do not increase traffic safety...in fact, they decrease it!

From the abstract:

"Running a red light can cause severe traffic crashes especially when one vehicle runs into the side of another. Red
light cameras photograph violators who are sent traffic tickets by mail. Intuitively, cameras appear to be a good
idea. However, comprehensive studies conclude cameras actually increase crashes and injuries, providing a safety
argument not to install them."
