According to a AAA study of government crash data, on average, two people are killed every day by drivers who run through red lights.
In 2017, the latest figures available, 939 people were killed by a car or truck that blew through a red light. It’s the highest death toll in nine years, and represents a 28% increase over 2012.
Whether you’re a driver, riding a bicycle, or a pedestrian, please use every precaution at intersections with traffic signals. For some reason, there are drivers who treat a red light as a suggestion rather than a legally mandated stop.
