There is no causality here.

Well there's your problem right there. Red lights on interstates.

dahmers love zombie: Accident rates at I-10 at Uvalde and I-45 at Wayside, went up 700-percent. But the biggest increase was at West Rd and I-45, where accidents had gone up 13-hundred percent.

Not sure if serious, but many on/off ramps to/from interstates begin/end with a stoplight.

Let me introduce you to the concept of frontage roads (new window).

You know, it's such a lovely intersection. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

1300 percent increase....it's been 225 days since they were turned off, so that means in the last 7.5 months that they have had 5 accidents a day, every day for 225 days in one intersection.
Methinks someone is full of bullshiat.

cretinbob: So that's what...from 2 to 5?
There is no causality here.
That was precisely my first thought. My second thought was that there must be a corresponding statistical mirror of when the cameras were first installed.... Let's see those numbers too!

Here are some suggestions:
Slow down.
Don't tailgate.
Don't run red lights.
Drive defensively.
Drive courteously.

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves: Maybe the camera company will start selling intersection "insurance", where they don't fark with the timing of the lights if they get a "contract".

Hmmmm... In Oklahoma City schools, do they teach the difference between a percentage increase and a numerical increase? 1300 percent doesn't mean there were 1300 more accidents.

I've been considering an initiative to the people here in WA to ban any device or system that issues legal citations without human involvement. We don't need computers and cameras issuing tickets.
close
I would guess that number would change.
Would also change if the cameras became not for profit or proceeds would go to charity then you would see the charity state facts that red light cameras save lives.

Let me introduce you to the concept of frontage roads (new window).
--Carlos V.
/also like the Texas U-turn (new window).
In 2002, the Texas Department of Transportation proposed to discontinue building frontage roads on new freeways, citing studies that suggest frontage roads increase congestion. However, this proposal was widely ridiculed and criticized and was dropped later the same year.[5]
Texas, WTF?

TwowheelinTim: You all sound like you run red lights and are sick of getting ticketed for it.

Lets see the raw numbers not just the percentages. But lets also see what is EXCLUDED. What they exclude in these are the number of accidents just ahead of the intersection. They want data only for those accidents past the white line or even further. Also when studying accidents while cameras are installed they filter out accidents that are weather related (slippery roads) but do not do so with before accidents.
I remember my math teachers words. "Figures don't lie, but liers can figure."

I know, I know, you all think their stats are bullshiat because you don't like them, and I'll admit, yeah, they really could be bullshiat, but this is a hypothetical.
