MAKING INTERSECTIONS SAFER: A TOOLBOX OF ENGINEERING COUNTERMEASURES TO REDUCE RED-LIGHT RUNNING - AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT

This toolbox identifies engineering features at an intersection that should be able to discourage red-light running. It addresses design and operational features that many need to be upgraded as necessary. It provides a background of the characteristics of the red-light running problem; identifies how various engineering measures can be implemented to address this problem; suggests a procedure for selecting the appropriate engineering measures and provides guidance on when enforcement, including red light cameras, may be appropriate.
