red-light safety cameras increased 135%.” (“Red-Light Running Dangers”) When the conversation of whether to have red light cameras, or not to have red light cameras arises, human fatalities should without a doubt be a top consideration. Especially when a study performed during 2011 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that red light cameras had lowered

vehicle collisions yearly, according to Kristof’s projections (Kristof 161). This is exponentially greater than the 30,000 who are killed in car accidents today, after these regulations were

In American society today, there are numerous laws designed to protect all citizens. One such law is having a speed limit. This requires motorists to drive reasonably and consider the conditions and potential hazards, regardless of what the speed limit signs say. As the automobile demands grew, the streets and highways expanded throughout the US, lawmakers created speed limits. On thee another hand, some citizens believe with modern day road materials and current automotive technologies, cars can safely exceed the legal limits set on almost every road in the United States. But, endless amount of studies and researches proves that having a speed limit can save lives, not to mention money.

Challenging determining the accuracy of the data since the information reported on known crimes is what is known by the police.

Beyond the road reconstruction, in 2012, out of all traffic death, pedestrians accounted for 16.16% which is the 5th highest in the nation and 3rd highest in the child pedestrian fatality rate.3 This indicates that the state and city developers need to take in account more pedestrian and cycling safety measures in their city planning and

Each year numerous lives are lost due to careless and irrational driving. The disregard for safe driving has been a predicament to the United States of America for years. Many years Police have relied heavily on speed cameras, breathalyzer tests and heavy fines as a deterrent against unlawful drivers. Over the years fatality rates have increased, so the Department of Transportation and Highway Safety has composed a series of safe driving campaigns. On many occasions the Transportation Department informs and advises the public about the importance of responsible driving. They propagate safe driving through the various channels of the media and

orting System fall under the Uniform Crime Reporting Program that provides information on crime all of the United States. This includes regions, states, counties, cities, towns, tribal law enforcement, colleges and universities. In this paper we will compare and contrast the two primary crime data sources used within the United States, the Uniform Crime Report and the National Incident-Based Reporting System. Before we do this, we will discuss each source individually and how it is used in Criminological research. The purpose of this study is to determine which source is lacking in function and which provides the best accurate information.

To have a safe and enjoyable road trip, an individual needs to pay attention to animals who may cross the road, have bright lights on for safety in heavily populated deer country, and get attention if injured, so that more injuries do not occur. Keeping people safe from car casualties or injuries due to deer overpopulation is important. According to an article on deer collisions, “Cars and deer can be a lethal combination” (“Car and Deer”). This is evidence that deer crossing the road and hitting cars could be dangerous. Also the article states, “Deer migration and mating season generally runs from October through December, and causes a dramatic increase in the movement of the deer population” (“Car and Deer”).

“They may have reduced traffic on Millburn Ave., “ says Rothbort, “but now we have cars speeding through the South Mountain and Washington neighborhoods. People are angry looking for a cut through to get out of traffic. They may have decreased the likelihood of a kid getting hit on Millburn Ave, but with the new Washington school open, they’ve created the perfect storm for an accident in our neighborhoods.”

Motor vehicle crashes has continued to be one of the leading causes of death and injury to RC residents. According to the California Highway Patrol Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS),

2. In addition, there is a study by Miller & Zaloshnja, published by (PIRE) the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in 2009.[6] In the study, It was assessed that the costs of deficient roadways amounted to $217 billion per year. That’s more than double the costs of crashes related to alcohol or speeding or failing to wear safety belt. Yet, why is it that we don’t hear of this in the media? Our public safety focus needs to be readjusted towards the renewal of our roadways and it must be a top priority.

The 2300 block of State Road 25 W. was closed for more than three hours due to a fatal crash Sunday morning.

The argument that Forestville should reverse a decision it made six months ago to raise its speed limit by 10MPH due to a 15% rise in accidents because accidents in Elmsford, a neighboring region, declined slightly, is inconclusive. A base line study of traffic pattern disruptions and speed variances in Forestville and Elmsford comparing demographic data, location, rate, and type of accidents for more than six months might determine significant risk factors. Federal studies suggest that accidents rise if speed limits are raised on highways by as much as 5% for each 4 MPH but on moderate speed limit roads, no such relationship exists. Other studies show accidents decrease with a rise in speed limit since artificially low limits also cause

This book changes the way people should think about the Interstate highways because it shows how much people do rely on them; maybe even too much. The book also makes one think about how much money we spend on gasoline and our reliance on foreign oil companies. The highways are a statement of what the American people are. The Interstate system was a great engineering feat, and it changed the landscape of the United States. It is a controversial subject, but it does reflect us as Americans. Lewis say, “the Interstates have reflected our shifting attitudes about technology, landscape, community, race relations, and the quality of our lives. Indeed,

Another growing problem, that for years has been the major headline for traffic accidents that could have very well been avoided
