Automated Enforcement: 10-year Evaluation Red Light Running Detection: Howard County, Maryland

This paper describes how the Howard County Automated Enforcement Program began the formal detection of violations and the issuance of red-light running citations on February 18, 1998 at two sites in Columbia, Maryland after a two-year period of testing and evaluation. By the end of the 1998, 19 locations were prepared and began operations. At the end of 1999, there were 30 sites that detected red-light running and issued citations. The testing and evaluation served to define a selection procedure to implement the initial photo-monitoring program. The selection criteria included angle collisions, average daily traffic (ADT), red-light violations, 85th percent approach speeds, and peak hour traffic flow. At the end of the first year of operation, an assessment of the program’s impact was initiated and the results are presented in this paper.
