Intersection Safety Program FAQs

Why has the city of Tampa implemented a red-light safety camera program?
Red-light running is a serious problem. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, nearly 2 million crashes annually occur in intersections. In 2009, 676 people were killed and 113,000 were injured in intersection crashes.

For three years in a row, more than 50 percent of Hillsborough County red-light crashes occurred within the city of Tampa. In 2010 alone, the number of intersection crashes caused by red-light violations in Hillsborough County totaled 642, with 371 of those crashes coming from the city of Tampa.

We believe that a red-light camera program will reduce the number of red-light collisions and injuries associated with these crashes in Tampa.

What is a red-light running violation?
A red-light running violation occurs when a motorist enters an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red. However, motorists already in the intersection when the signal changes to red, waiting to turn for example, are not considered red-light violators. No citations will be issued for vehicles entering the intersection on a green or yellow light.
