In response to the city’s questionable red light camera study which concluded that accidents increased at intersections with at least one red light camera, HPD is considering adding more red light cameras:
The Houston Police Department is considering changes — possibly even expansion — to its red-light camera program after a city-commissioned study showed that crashes went up at intersections where the devices have been installed.
“What we’re concerned about is safety, safety, safety at these intersections,” said Executive Assistant Chief Timothy Oettmeier, whose command includes the camera system. “We want fewer injuries, we certainly don’t want any death, and we want a reduction in accidents.”
How about lengthening yellow light times?
