To address this safety problem, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) established the Stop Red Light Running Program in 1995 as a community-based safety initiative.
FHWA Associate Administrator for Safety George Ostensen points out, "We continue to find that Stop Red Light Running strategies and countermeasures are effective in reducing the number of right-angle crashes at intersections." He notes the importance of safety partnerships representing the wide variety of interests within the 3E's of education, engineering, and enforcement.
The education and outreach activity is the most mature aspect of FHWA's Stop Red Light Running Program.
The National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running, an independent organization that advocates assertive action to stop red light running, has completed a best practices guide for red light camera programs.
