If you consider the number of people, who are injured and die because of accidents that take place because of the running of the red light in the US, you will understand the need of the Red light enforcement. The numbers are around 3, 00,000 for the injured and accidents all together. The more number of people that are injured are the people in other cars and the pedestrians. The medical bills and the amount that have has to be incurred on the loss of property damaged because of such accidents is even significant. The statistics calculate the same amount around $200 billion. This rising concern has led many cities in the US to opt for the red light enforcement.

Let us see in detail what exactly the red light enforcement is.

It contains the photo enforcement and so this is the first thing that we will try to understand. This is something new to the US; the Photo enforcement is being used in the Europe and Australia for more than 20 years now. There are wire censors to which the cameras that are more than 10 feet tall and approximately 70 feet abaft the intersection are connected. On the roadways, the censors are installed at the cuts. The electromagnetic field is created by the electricity that runs through the same wires the camera is then triggered by the vehicles that run over the same wire by creating interference in the magnetic field of electricity that these wires create. Another important and interesting thing about the red light enforcement will be to see how the photo enforcement works.

An obvious question will come to your mind that how do the cameras decide that of which driver or the car the picture has to be taken. Well, at a distance of few meters away from the cameras there is another network of the wire. This network helps to record the speed of the car driving past the red light enforcement. If the speed is above the mentioned limit then the cameras are triggered automatically and two pictures of the car are taken. This is possible because of the viewfinders in the cameras. These viewfinders have the capacity to cover the entire area of the intersection. The photo that is taken first will mark the car before it could enter into the intersection and the second photo will show the car that is in the intersection.
