Will the flash of the red light cameras in Phoenix be activated again?

According to Phoenix city officials, there are 1,150 signalized intersections in Phoenix. Each year, these intersections saw an average of 1,520 red-light running crashes. Those crashes took the lives of nearly 90 people per year on average.

City officials compiled those three years of data, but they are looking to utilize a “composite scoring methodology,” that would include values for each factor. From those factors, an intersection would be given a score. The score would help determine if it could be a good location for a red light camera.

Here are the results of the 600 intersections that scored the highest with that point system:

City officials are proposing a five-year contract and 24 fixed cameras, along with 16 photo radar vans for school zones. That would double the amount Phoenix once had.
