Arizona has the highest rate of red light running deaths, higher than California

People do one of two things when the light turns yellow in Arizona.

  1. They either slam on the brakes, risking getting rear-ended.

  2. They speed up to catch the light, only to end up running the light and causing a collision as the date below indicates.

Arizona has the highest rate of death per capita in the 50 United States and yet cities are removing Red Light cameras.
