Abstract
Red light running cameras (RLRC) is a safety treatment in an intersection. However instead of improving safety sometimes the installation of RLRC leads to increase certain types of accident. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of installing red light camera in Virginia Beach, VA. The number of crashes from several types of collision where taken from 13 intersections with the RLRC in the city. Before and after study was employed for the analysis with the control of confounding factors. The confounding factors in this study are traffic count (AADT) of the intersections and geometric variables such as number of lanes, number of driveway and ramp. The result showed that the installation of RLRC overall has improved safety and the confounding factors contributed a lot to the safety performance of those intersection.
