Red light camera data in full
tom.brodbeck - September 27th, 2010
If you check out the Manitoba Public Insurance crash stats for the 12 red-light locations where cameras were installed in 2005, you’ll see the collisions numbers are even worse than what we’ve been reporting so far.

For most of the intersections where red-light-cameras have been installed, we’ve been giving you the numbers based on the year the cameras went in, in order to present a uniform set of statistics.

Some cameras were installed in 2003, some in 2004 and others in 2005. There have three more more installed since then.

If MPI had figures for the years leading up to the installations of the cameras, it would provide us with even greater insight into how dramatic crashes have increased since the cams were put up. Unfortunately, MPI doesn’t have that data compiled, with the exception of the cameras that were installed in 2005.

For those, we have two years of crash data prior to the installation of the cameras. And what it shows is that the increases in crashes for most of those locations are even more pronounced.

For example, the corner of Logan and Main had an average 28.5 crashes annually for the years 2003 and 2004. A red-light camera was installed there in August of 2005 and the numbers jumped instantly to 41. They never came back down to the pre-red-light camera years, staying instead at an average of 31 crashes a year.
You can view below those figures and all of the raw data from MPI we’ve been reporting on over the past week.
